My 16 yr.old daughter will be having her tonsils and adenoids removed in 3 weeks and she is very nervous about it and we were wanting to know what can she expect before and after surgery?

Hi my doc says i have tonsillitis but i can not eat not because my throat is sore but because my whole area of the mouth has like olsars and it is very painful i was just wondering if these olsars would be caused by tonsillitis or another virus?

i used tweezers
and i know thats bad,
and better way?

I do not have insurance so I went to see a walk in doctor three days ago who was rather awful. He prescribed me some sort of antibiotic that starts with an E, because I am allergic to penicillin and amoxicillin. My tonsils have been like this for about 5 days now, it just appeared out of nowhere. Prior to this, I have had tonsil stones for like four years now. Anyways, since taking the antibiotic (it’s been three days) my tonsils have gotten worse. (The one in the picture that is smaller is larger now). When I googled tonsillitis the pictures don’t look this white and stuff. I was wondering if maybe this is an emergency.

Here is a picture.

Oh and I have two lumps by my ear and one on my neck all of a sudden. My research is telling me that this is lymph nodes. Does that mean I getting even worse? What do these usually do to people?

This is both a medical and singing question, I couldn’t really decide where to put it but I’ll try getting an answer in singing.

Because I often have sore throats and I also have sleep apnea, my doctor has referred me to an ENT appointment for early next month and she said he may recommend tonsil removal. I’m not a very active singer, I perform in choruses and sometimes do the ensemble in musicals (I’m not very brave when it comes to singing, so I don’t take leading roles).

If I, hypothetically, did need tonsil removal, would I still be able to sing? I know the effect of losing your tonsils is having a deeper voice. Would I be able to sing but just with a lower part?

Currently I’m a baritone who can also sing somewhat into the tenor range. Would having tonsil removal just change me into a bass range, or is it possible I won’t be able to sing well anymore?
did you copy and paste that from another answer you gave someone, because I’m pretty sure the last time I sung soprano was when I was 10, being that I’m male and all.

Still, I get the idea. Thank you
But I’m not a Countertenor nor will I ever be, certainly not after tonsil removal

I have no cotton swaps at the time how can i get it out.i already tried using my finger but only made my throat bleed.Its on the side of my mouth in the back..why do i get them??Thanks and why do they smell so bad.

I’ve been taking the antibiotic for 2 days now with no change in symptoms. How long will it be before the symptoms disappear?

When I say easily, I mean not getting my tonsils taken out or going to the doctor.

Thank you!!

Sorry i can’t show a picture because the lighting doesn’t work right and it won’t show my tonsils. But pretty much they aren’t swollen or anything but it kind of looks strange because there seems to be spots/skin missing from them and around the spots are like a outline of white. It looks like little craters in my tonsils. Plus i’ve had them like this for a year now but do i have an infection? And also i smoke (not a pack a day but a few cigs each day) if that matters.
