I got in a football accident (no pads) where a fellow player couldn't stop in time and hit me in the head. My neck bent sideways, and now my right Tonsil or area around it is extremely swollen and sore. I have full neck movement except for when I lift my head up. When I do there's a strong pain in the right side of my neck. Does anyone have any idea what happened? Thank you for your time.

Hello,
Your neck injury may be more serious than you think. Clearly you have soft tissue injury at least where the tonsil is concerned but you may have nerve injury as well. It is possible you may have a concussion as well. It might have been a good idea to have a scan done at the time to make sure you were okay. For the moment, you might want to place alternating cold and warm compresses to reduce any inflammation you may have there. I think if you head movement doesn't return soon, you should go to a doctor to check it out. Head and neck injuries can be tricky sometimes and warrant attention.
