I had this procedure done today and I have an incredible amount of empathy going forward if I hear anyone who has this. The last few days before getting this procedure and getting antibiotics today, Peritonsillar Abscess was the most pain I had ever experienced in my life. I couldn't eat/drink, sleep or talk the last couple days. After this procedure and only 1 day of antibiotics I can eat again and I'm looking forward to finally getting sleep again for the first time in a week. Yay! Thank you doctors for what you do.
I had this done yesterday, from my experience it isn't as bad as you would think. When they did mine they pulled the bad stuff out with a needle and gave me antibiotics. The pain may vary on a person but it was more of discomfort than pain for me. After this was done my mouth felt a lot better and I'm so glad I had this done. The pain afterwards isn't bad at all. This is my experience and I hope that this helps a little.
I had mine drained on 5/21/20 on left side near where my wisdom teeth would've been. Did it hurt? Yes and I cried. I didn't cough or gag and could manage myself enough to let them drain me 3 times. It sucked but as soon as it was done I felt so much better.
@@OneManOnFire it's not a nice feeling but you feel so relieved after getting it drained. Hope everything is ok now. I'm just hoping it doesnt happen again as I'm always getting tonsillitis :/
@@AyLiNMuSiC8613 I will start with saying please visit a ENT doctor asap. Go buy antiseptic mouth wash and gargle with it one minute often with your head looking up at 12 o'clock. Get a tiny curved syringe and start spraying water water back there with good pressure. Did the antibiotics work? Yes. Did anything come back? No Do I currently see white spots? Yes but they always been there I never noticed. Do I feel/sense something in that area still? Yes Do I feel/sense flare ups? Yes but it's not like my er visit back in n May 2020. Do I feel/sense imbalance in my ear like a ear infection? Sometimes. It goes away after cleaning with a water syringe.
@@AyLiNMuSiC8613 the antibiotics helped very well and I've had almost no tonsillitis since then. The pain for me stopped about the day after getting it drained. What I did when I found out I needed mine drained was I realised that my tonsil was very swollen on one side and it was very difficult to talk and swallow anything. So maybe if you feel like you have to get it drained check to see if you have any symptoms, but it's better safe than sorry. Else if you leave it too late it may burst in your throat. Wishing you the best luck.
I had an Peritonsillar abscess 4 years ago. Didn't take my doctor seriously at the time and didn't go to the hospital until 5 days later. During this time the Peritonsillar abscess grew so much that I could hardly open my mouth. Swallowing was no longer possible and hearing on the affected side was no longer possible either. Unfortunately, the anesthetic spray didn't numb anymore because everything was so inflamed and I had the most painful experience in my life. I advise anyone who has an abscess to get to the hospital on time. After that I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days because my inflammation values exceeded the scale. every day there were 3 drops of 500ml antibiotics. I don't want to experience that again
I got mine drained the other day did you feel like you can swallow days after ? I still am having trouble and don’t know if it’s normal and recovering or if I should go back in
@@brandonmccoll2469 It hurt for 2 days to swallow, and overall it was sore for about a week but I could tell everyday the pain was getting less and less. I'm sorry you had to go through that, it was immensely painful for me. Sending you good vibes and hoping for a speedy recovery!
@@sstephkate86 I had to get it drained, the Dr said it was too big to go away with antibiotics. I'm glad you didn't have to get yours drained, it's very painful.
@@km-uh5zr thank you! I am just so anxious cause I’m Ontario we can’t bring anyone into to Er for support so they’re telling me all this stuff while I’m gasping for air and know nothing about recovery. I have like yellow bump on my tonsil and don’t know if that’s sign of healing or pus blah 😒
This is between the the worst/ second worst pain/disconfort i have had in my life (the other one was discal hernia)... ive never ever visit the dr when got covid, influenza, flu, diahrrea, etc and now im writing this from an emergency room
Recovering from my extraction today. I really wish I caught it sooner! I was at an 8/10 pain for 2 days and the procedure was a 10/10. Sending healthy vibes
I had one. I kept ignoring it and using Aleve for pain. After about a week and a half i couldn't ignore it any more. I couldn't even swallow saliva it was so painful. I got to the ER and the doctor told me it was the worst one he had ever seen. The draining was instant relief . Was admitted overnight and let go the next day
Same here, I'm in Japan and have been trying to use OTC medication like an aspirin equivalent, and acetaminophen with throat sprays and anything that I could find. After 8 days of suffering I ended up in the ER because I was having trouble breathing and my nasal airways were blocked as well from the abscess. That was the final straw. They want to keep me for 5 more days at the hospital and a $3,500+ bill is incoming.. No insurance, but would be even worse if back in the states. Lol They've drained it twice so far, but it's pretty darn persistent. First drainage I filled 2 1/2 pans lol. It was absolutely massive, it looked like black sludge along with a ton of pus. Super gnarly and it smelled lovely. 😬 I hope they don't have to drain more, but it's still hard to swallow as the day goes on... Definitely a ton of relief compared to when I arrived! Just talked to the doc this evening and she confirmed they're going to have to drain again a 3rd time, potentially more times after that. 😕 Praying that changes when we meet tomorrow morning. They barely numb me up and start slicing and digging with their tools. Hurts like hell! lol
Had my tonsils removed when I was 4y old and a couple days ago, had peritonsillar abscess. That was some pain, especially the next day, after the drainage, where the doctor used a tool, forceps, to see if any pus was still in there.
@@nevadacollins6132 It is called tonsillectomy, you can google it. I don't know if it is preffered these days, but I had them removed almost 48 years ago. It helps when someone has frequently infection of the tonsils.
@@Stl71 I did have my tonsils removed almost 3 weeks ago but I’m having a lot of symptoms from the above video. So I’m confused whether it’s still possible without tonsils.
@@nevadacollins6132 Oh, now I understand! You mean if it is possible to have peritonsillar abscess although you have your tonsils removed? This is something I don't know, but I assume that there is a little chance. The main symptom is that you even can't swallow your own saliva.
@@FIES7ATECHNO perfectly fine. I'm still taking the antibiotics. You'll feel a lot better tomorrow. The pain will go away soon. Drink a milkshake if you can.
@@Hadgibob good to hear bro! im still on antibiotics and painkillers.. this was the worst pain ive felt in a while. can u eat good now? i didnt eat for a week now
I'm in the hospital right now. My abscess burst on me on the 4th day. I thought it was just strep and was gonna tough it out. Day 3 and I had the hot potato voice, and extreme pain. On day 4, it ruptured. I was laying down when my mouth filled with pus and blood.
Can you not get a peritonsillar abscess after having your tonsils removed only b/c there’s no “tonsil” there for the abscess “be around?” I had my tonsils out at 18, the summer b4 I started college.....about 10 years ago (when I was 35) I had a peritonsillar abscess that burst overnight causing a massive bilateral chest wall cellulitis and became septic. It was absolutely horrendous.
Alia Atreides ~ Right, but that’s why I’m asking b/c I had my tonsils out and 27 years later, I ABSOLUTELY •D•I•D• HAVE A PERITONSILLAR ABSCESS that in fact ruptured.
I had strep 3 years ago and got antibiotics which resolved it quickly. However, ever since both my tonsils have remained enlarged. It’s asymptomatic and I don’t have any pain but it’s still very much noticeable to me because of their size. I don’t want to take my tonsils out but I don’t know if there is anything to drain. I just want them to be small again.
If the reason why you dont want to take them out is because you heard it fights germs and disease microbes that is only true for kids or at least up until you stop growing but if you don't want to because you're a sissy well then you're like 👍me
Hey doc, I have asymmetrical tonsils, my ent says he thinks it is a cyst but cant be sure. It's not the puss kind its the tissue kind. He recommended taking tonsils out I didn't have to give answer right then. I see him in two months. I have a couple questions for you like if it is cancer how fast can it spread to blood or anywhere? What is non puss tonsil cyst called? And last would you also recommend to remove both? I am 38 yrs old. I know that getting the tonsil cyst out and sending it to lab would be like a biopsy but if it turns out to be cancer how would I know if it spread? If you can find time to answer any of these questions I would be so grateful
What happened? How are you now and what was it, what did you end up doing and what meds did they give? I am in a similar position right now. In hospital got so bad they cut and not a lot of puss came out. They put me on amoxicillin IV but now 1 day later the swelling got 3x bigger and my ulvula is so swollen that hurts the most.I cant swallow, drink/eat :( Did you get prednisone? Hope all is well now
@@slayerguitar I’m happy this is the past now… it was truly scary and awful.. 1 week in hospital. IV antibiotics and 1 day of dexamethason which really helped with the swelling. They are not sure what caused this. They are looking into it more. Probably my auto immune illnesses have something to do with it. How are you at the moment?
@@bddybdz just got back from er and no abscess. No strep or covid. They think likey a tonsil stone infection. Which isnt really treatable with antibiotics. They gave me dex to help with swelling and it has helped me at least drink water and smoothie. Need to go see a ent. Thanks for the reply.
I am bothered with my tonsils because my left tonsil is slightly swallowed but i didn't experience a sore throat but sometimes i felt there is plema in my throat.. It's considered as peritonsillar abscess?
Hi current patient here, recently my GP incorrectly categorised me and said I didn’t have tonsillitis and I should be fine, the next day the pain got worse and went to hospital. If antibiotics are not reducing the pain you are feeling from your tonsils, it is way better to be safe than sorry and see a specialist soon
