Swollen tonsils for 4 months straight!

I have a similar problem but my whole right side feels rejected of oxygen, I don't know what to do? My whole right side is blocked of any form of oxygen and I'm afraid my energy is leaving my body on the right side. My left side is noticeably bigger than my right side. I have an ent appointment in a week but I'm scared of how I'm feeling. I don't know what to do..

I have the same problem, I had a swollen tonsil in October and went to the doctor she told me if was just viral infection went back a month later to a different doctor, she gave me penicillin and said if that doesn't help come back and we will send you to the ENT. Went back in December and they made an ENT. Appointment for me. But that's not until March. A couple weeks ago it was causing me problems. So my friend took me to Answer. They took blood and did a swab of my throat. Still waiting for results 

So weird this exact same thing is happening to me

Tonsils have been removed and the problems are still there, but minor and I think they are getting better.

Take a look at your lifestyle and think how much you are actually doing for yourself, do you get much alone time? Have you been trying to do too much....I never thought it would be stress related until I took the time to sit down and think about it. The doctors mentioned it to me, but I was o reluctant to believe it. It may be something as simple as stress....I'm not saying it definitely is but if you take some time at any point in your day...away from anyone. Think about what you do and try to do what you want to do....it seems to help me personally but everyone is different.

Maybe see friends, read..if that's your thing, whatever it is just every now and then take some time out and do what you want to do..without sounding like I've repeated..which I have but just try doing it like 2-3 days a week take a couple of hours out from everything and concentrated purely on yourself.

It may not work but it really does make you kinda stress free whilst your doing what you want to do..and then worry about what everyone else around you is doing afterwards.

You have Tonsil Stones. I have them and feel like c**p now!!! I'm with a fever and gargled with hot sea salt water and bad breath tooth paste and mouth wash. Nothing works!!! Going to the Dr. in hopes to get my tonsils removed!!! Oh by the way go on YouTube and look up how to remove tonsil stones etc...

Take a allergy pill. I had that and was worried at one point and the Dr. Told me it was all just irritation from drainage caused by allergies. If left in checked, you could get a sinus infection. If you take a 24 hr allergy pill at the onset of the problem it will prevent further swelling. After taking one I usually feel the swelling reduce almost immediately.

Well I've had swollen tonsils since near the end of October and it's now January and I've been on 3 kinds of antibiotics and I keep getting more meds no dr has wanted to test me for anything! And I'm starting to think I have mono because of the fatigue and sore throat that keeps coming back as soon as I'm done meds it stays.. And now I'm stuffy/runny nose I don't know what's going on but I need to find a quality dr who will actually test me for these things !

i do also sing, its my job, i have also the same case for 2 months my tonsils are swelling and i dont know why..icant sing anymore ....im a teno....:-(

I'm wondering what this is too. I'm almost 13 years old my mom hasn't took me to the doctor yet bud mine are swollen they never go down and hurt at times and white stuff is on them sometimes but the thing is it's been doing this for 1 year! And recently I've been waking up at 3 am and can't go to sleep I have to drink water and my throut will be in a lot of pain!!!!! So Im feeling the same!!

Some of your post is helpful, but the part about HIV not showing up on tests for years is simply not true. People are already scared about the issues with their tonsils, and this just adds more anxiety on these types of statements. HIV would show up on RNA, ELISA, and other 4th generation tests over 95% of people in less than a month. Three months, 99%. The six month rule only applies to cancer patients, or other severe cases. HIV cannot hide from tests, never heard of such from the CDC, doctors, clinics, WebMD, and a host of other sources. I even asked this question and mentioned someone that was "communicable disease certified" was making this claim, and was told it was not true in any case, and it was scary that statement was even made by someone in the field.

Bottom line guys, see your doctor, ENT, pay attention to your symptoms, push for tests to be done. Due diligence.

Your mom needs to take you to the doctor/ENT ASAP. Push for it! Get tests done. I had the same thing at 17, and it was strep throat.

This isn't to malia directly. But if you are sexually active consider taking an STI test. My friend had these problems and had what appeared to be white stuff on her swollen tonsils. And we did some research and found that it was possibly Acute herpetic pharyngotonsillitis. She went to get tested and she did in fact have type 1 herpes. And that infection is common for those who recieve herpes as a young adult/adult.

Any updates on your condition? I wonder if anyone has been able to get their tonsillitis to go away after weeks of acute infection. If you have, please let us know!!

I'm also a singer and believe I have the same thing. For 8 weeks, I've had a sore throat, swollen tonsils, difficulty swallowing, swollen lymph nodes (no fever, no congestion/runny nose). The sore throat is relatively painless but the tonsils have been so swollen. It does not seem to be getting much better.

I've seen an ENT 3 times. He gave me an antibiotic, which helped just a little bit. After that though, he thinks it's just in my head. I have been stressing a lot because of it and the last week or so I've been more calm. I've had tests for bacteria, STD tests come back negative (chlamydia, gonorrea, hiv, etc). I even paid out of pocket for an oralDNA HPV test (which also came back negative).

I think I have an unusual viral infection. What's helped me is I was recently prescribed Duke's Magic Mouthwash (which has antibiotic, antifungal, steriod). It's helped clean my mouth better and the symptoms. I've been gargling with salt water (even brush with a little salt after toothpaste). Rinse with hydrogen peroxide (1% and dilute with a little water) and Duke's Magic Mouthwash.

I plan on trying a new doctor to see if they will work with me (my first doc didn't seem to have interest in exploring what's going on. It's almost like if the symptoms aren't something straight in the book, he thinks it's in my head).

How are you now?

Have you took a hiv test
