3:29 Treatment of Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils in the upper part of the throat.[1][2] Tonsillitis is a type of pharyngitis that typically comes on fast (rapid onset).[1][8] Symptoms may include sore throat, fever, enlargement of the tonsils, trouble swallowing, and large lymph nodes around the neck.[1][2] Complications include peritonsillar abscess.[1][3]
Tonsillitis is most commonly caused by a viral infection and about 5% to 40% of cases are caused by a bacterial infection.[1][5][6] When caused by the bacterium group A streptococcus, it is referred to as strep throat.[9] Rarely bacteria such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, or Haemophilus influenzae may be the cause.[5] Typically the infection is spread between people through the air.[6] A scoring system, such as the Centor score, may help separate possible causes.[1][5] Confirmation may be by a throat swab or rapid strep test.[1][5]
Treatment efforts involve improving symptoms and decreasing complications.[5] Paracetamol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen may be used to help with pain.[1][5] If strep throat is present the antibiotic penicillin by mouth is generally recommended.[1][5] In those who are allergic to penicillin, cephalosporins or macrolides may be used.[1][5] In children with frequent episodes of tonsillitis, tonsillectomy modestly decreases the risk of future episodes.[10]
About 7.5% of people have a sore throat in any three-month period and 2% of people visit a doctor for tonsillitis each year.[7] It is most common in school-aged children and typically occurs in the colder months of fall and winter.[5][6] The majority of people recover with or without medication.[1][5] In 40% of people, symptoms resolve within three days, and in 80% symptoms resolve within one week, regardless of whether streptococcus is present.[4] Antibiotics decrease symptom duration by approximately 16 hours.[4]

FELLAS *MR OBALAR* ON RUclips CURED ME COMPLETELY ❤..
I'm 26 and have tonsilitis since yesterday for the first time in my life. Literally drinking water is so painful that I tear up. And with each sip the pain goes from my throat to the ears. It's like two nails stuck in my throat. Bless the child who has it. I can't even bear it as an adult.
I have it as well and I’m in so much pain
I have it and I’m 15 years old lol
@@kintanjoseph8076 I bet ur in a lot of pain
I am 17 years old and iam suffering from it since last two days . Literally i cannot drink water, eat food or anything and cannot talk properly . It is so painful
@@Aaryajeet_official I think u have a viral infection of it it feels like a 2 bee stings in the tonsils
Oh mate I’ve got tonsillitis today. It’s absolutely grim lol I’m 28 year old male and I have never felt this rough before! I’m bloody resting and drinking water and I swear it isn’t getting better! Keep strong whoever is going through this shite with me 😂
Same here i got it yesterday
Got it on Monday and Tuesday was getting sore more like Swollen glands and today feel like crap sore throat sore too swallow and had too work as well 🙃
I don't know what I have. I am Dragon Ball generation. My throat and mouth has been red and swollen tonsils since 2018 or 2019 now. I still have no clue what it is, and the doctors either rejected me before it was as bad as it is now, or they did not know themselves. So now I am searching for an otolaryngologist. In the beginning, the roof of my mouth was turning dark brown. I signed up for a brand new doctor back then, and he told me black people have darker gums, and there is nothing wrong with my mouth. I kept telling him something is wrong, and he is a dark skin doctor himself. I returned to that place a year later maybe? He was gone and moved to a different location, and it was mostly nurses there now. They checked my throat and I told them it was worse, and asked if it was tonsillitis. She said no, and I would have white beads coming out if it was tonsillitis.
They tested me and said it was strep. I was told multiple times it is strep. No antibiotics worked with not. Not amoxicillin or azithromycin. At one point, I tested for mono, an it was supposedly going to go away with treatment. The roof of my mouth went from normal pink to dark brown, and now my entire throat and esophagus is red with two lumps behind my already swollen tonsils. I don't even know why I am still alive. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure fresh out of high school and when I started college (in 2008). I had hundreds of symptoms back then that no one could figure out, and now I have this problem. It's like a cursed life of being bullied, going to schools I hated, and health problems even though I eat healthy.
Me and I’m 27 turning 28 next month hahaha. Yeah it sucks a lot and I never expected something painful as this
Got it today, and it hurts like hell😩
I didn’t realise how bad this was until I had it. Never felt so ill 😩
How are you feeling now?
What symptoms did you have?
Are you feeling better now?
Ik I couldn't eat or drink and was always throwing up after eating
Me who gets it 3 times a year:
Im 25 and going through this. It's one of those things I would never wish on anyone. This is my 3rd episode within the past 5 months, and I have to frequently call out of work and stay bedridden for days at a time because it's so unbearable. It's really starting to get in the way of me living my best life. I'm a very healthy and active guy. I work out, eat well, no bad habits or anything. Every time I have one of these episodes, my symptoms include swollen painful lymph nodes in my neck, earache, headache, fever, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite (I force myself to eat soup and crackers and drink Pedialyte), weakness, malaise, unusual bad smell from my throat, white patches oozing from my tonsils, horrible sore throat (hurts to swallow) and horrible sleep pattern (hard to stay comfortable). Reading the other comments on here makes me feel glad I'm not the only one going through this, and I hope everyone gets well. If I have another episode in the near future, which I'm sure I probably will, I'm looking to have a tonsillectomy procedure done.
Sorry about the experiences, please stay strong, it gets better
Sounds like you need to get you tonsils removed bc it happens so frequently
I appreciate the feedback! It's been 4 months now, and I'm doing good, but fingers crossed that this won't reoccur 🙏🤞
If it’s reoccurring you prolly need them removed
Thanks everybody! I haven't had an episode since I first made this comment. Hopefully it won't happen again, but so far so good.
I remember getting very very sick as a kid, and it got so much worse because I refused to eat food to have the energy to fight the virus. I ended up with both tonsillitis and bronchitis, and had a severely hard time swallowing food even when I tried my hardest in the end. I'm now really thankful to my parents and my doctor alike since I didn't really understand what I was going through at the time. Whoever else went through something similar, or is going through something, I wish you luck on getting well, and God bless
Really glad you were able to pull through successfully
Damn that's brutal 😷
This is me currently. I didn’t eat for 2 days because of this sore throat and I’m legit forcing myself to eat something rn so I could take painkillers and antibiotics
@@angelinahazell4960 Aah x.x
Hope you get well soon :'3
@@angelinahazell4960 this was me two weeks ago haa, had tonsillitis, and an abscess, and recovering from surgery that I had last week! Hopefully yours is not as bad as mine but get well soon! 🙏
I got into hospital 3 weeks ago and the doctor said its tonsillitis, but didnt prescribe me antibiotics. One week off work and I thought it will be gone. I started my first day then and still no improvement. It is 4th week for me with constant dizziness, chest pain, panic attacks. Just finishing my 5 days antibiotics now but I dont see getting any better, to be honest I've never felt that bad in my life
Wow short n very informative easy to understand...thanks 😊
My throat hurts so bad!
For all those suffering .... Theres a over the table soulution ... Salt in hot water gargle every 3 hours or three times a day ...its gonna heal . Thank you
Thank you for sharing
Am three yr old has it, he can't gargle on salt water, he's having difficulties to breath,, he can't eat a thing , fever. Is not going away,, am so worried stressed I can I haven't slept in three days
@@oliveygondwe507see a doctor please
Currently suffering with this right now on day 6. My right tonsil is super swollen and I have horrible ear pain 😭 I finally went to the doctor and they prescribed me amoxicillin. Hoping I feel better soon, and hoping all that is dealing with this pain, feels better too.
Sorry about the condition. I hope you get better soon
Dang i went to the doctor but they just said they thinks is tonsillitis I got no medicine. I’m going to the hospital Monday. My tonsils are extremely swollen and touching and they have white stuff all on it. Swallowing anything hurts terrible both my ears are in distraught. I have a 102 fever. My lymph nodes are swollen
@@spazzout2339 I found out actually that I had a peritonsillar abscess on my tonsil.. luckily it was treated with antibiotics before it got any bigger. Luckily it wasn’t big enough to close my airway.
Dammit I’m allergic to that medicine 😭😭😭
How long did it take to get better? Because I have it right now
y’all it hurts so bad to drink water
For real

@@Nyxieee_1so everyone has tonsillitis rn
Bro its a legit trauma
@@Nyxieee_1 bro how many days did it took for you to get better
Currently have tonsillitis & I’m 29. My tonsils are covered in white and swollen pretty bad. Fatigue took over me, so I’ve been in the bed for 2 days straight. I’ve been on amoxicillin & had to go back to the doctor because I was super nervous about my tonsils looking the way they do. Doc prescribed me prednisone ( I have asthma so I knew exactly what it was when she told me I was going to be placed on a steroid ) which will help with the inflammation. My glands have been so swollen, swallowing has been sooo hard for me. I can’t wait for this to be over!
Same!! I’ve been sick since Friday (it’s Wednesday now) and the pain hasn’t got better, but my swollen glands are getting better, I don’t eat and barely drink (which is bad don’t do this) please gargle with warm or normal salt water, take lozenges and ibuprofen, inshallah I get better and so with you, good luck
@@lechxx did you had white spots on tonsills and fever?
Are you fine now
@@shahroz8030 uhh yeah thanks for asking, my throat was white and my glands were inflamed, and my tonsils were white but Alhamduliallah I’m fine now
@@lechxx Thanks to Allah , i am recovering too
I’m 25 and very active and I never really get ill but I’ve got tonsillitis and my god, had to take a week off work and I didn’t leave bed for 5 days! Didn’t realise it was that bad
Sorry about your experience. Hope you are better now.
The things we take for granted. I never realized how much I swallow until experiencing this horrible pain that was made by the devil himself
Sorry about the experience. I hope you feel better now.
A VERY GOOD EDUCATIVE VIDEO ABOUT VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES OF THE HUMAN BODY
Why are you yelling at me?
I have been experiencing tonsillitis since I was 7 years old, and now that I am 17, it occurs every 2 or 3 months. I have become so accustomed to it that I no longer let it bother me, to the point where sometimes I don't even remember having it.
Brush yo teeth or sum that’s not normal…..
I've had this all my life. I'm 33 now and still trying to see how to treat it. This video made me feel like a child.
Maybe not be a child and contact your doctor. If it's continuous you should probably get them removed
same not 33 yet but soon
Have you guys went to the doctor I’ve been dealing with this also very uncomfortable
I am from India, I too have chronic tonsillitis. Now I am taking homeopathy treatment.
I'm 35 & this repeated from my childhood every once or twice a year
Dealing with this right now and I want to lay in traffic from the pain alone 💀 pls god put me out my misery
I’m suffering too and your description made me chuckle with how relevant it is.
Hello, please I need opinion. I have sour troat, its a mild pain and the troat is red. I also have white dots in the back of my tounge. This happened to me also three weeks ago, same simptoms and antibiotics resolved it. I suppose its bacterial infection right? I dont know why it happened again.
Have been in pain for the past 3 days! Went to the doctor yesterday and he said it was Tonsillitis but I don’t see any progress after taking Antibiotics, swelling medicine and all the Lozenges. Swallowing feel like a huge huge chore now as I feel like I’m swallowing a sharp rock and the pain goes up to my ears. Taking all the Paracentemol isn’t helping either and i have gargled with warm salt water as well! Help help I’m in so much pain, does the pain eventually go away? Feel like crying 😭 never experienced this kind of pain ever in my whole life and even a long long fever is better than this.
The back of my mouth hurts idk if its my tonlies or thoart but i have coivd

Hej, hvordan har du det nu? Jeg lider, som du lider
Thanks a lot
Short and precise. Had my tonsils finally removed today
I hope you are doing better now.
@@MedicalCentric Yes. Managing post surgery pain.
Now i feel jealous buddy 😭 btw aaaaahhh im having this shittty pain rn god gimme strength
I'm on day 6 of a really bad tonsilitis. I've been sick many times in my life (im 39) but this is probably the most intense throat pain I've ever had to endure. Plus I can barely eat/sleep/drink which makes things even worse...im completely drained.
Inhalation and gargling with salt water helps, but it only offers a brief release.
Starting some antibiotics today hopefully it's gonna ease the pain fast.
It's still really comforting to read all the comments and see that im not alone in this fight. 😀
Are you ok now?
@@benisbean3426 Yes thank you. Antibiotics killed it quickly thankfully 🙂
@@greggiraudo9021how long did it take for yours to go away ive had it for 4 days now i am in agony
What’s up with my case I have a swollen tonsil that’s very painful so I guess I have tonsillitis? I’m seeing everyone say they feel sick but I’m only feeling pain in my tonsil but I don’t feel sick at all.
Currently dealing with this, I’m 17 😭😭 this the 5th day I been dealing with this, it’s so bad the pain every time I swallow is horrible and I tried eating normally like meat and chips but it hurts so bad the only thing that seems to help is cold water, I’m going to get checked out tommorow morning it hurts so bad I feel so sick too my temperature is high I feel weak and I sweat a lot in my sleep hopefully it goes away soon 😭
I’m currently going through the same thing, but mine started Saturday. I hope you are feeling better
are you alright yet?
I am currently going through the same at the age of 11. Its so hard to swallow. I barely ate. Its my first 2 days. And I hope it stops soon. But for now its getting worse. I didn't sleep for two nights. So I recommend eating a spoon of honey beforehand. Im having it checked too. I've had high temperatures and weakness. Its not nice 😔
@@hanz05Thank you. Hope you get better too, along with everyone else going through this. Yes, I do need to remember I have to eat. I will try have a look at some foods that are not dry or hard. I hope it gets better soon.
I’m 16 and in so much pain to type
I'm currently on my 4th day with tonsillitis, this is painful. I can't eat, but I'm able to drink. Hope this ends soon
My tonsils are hurting which is making my nose hurt. I don’t know what to do because it is unreachable
I thought my Tonsilitis is gone, and it goes back again today, wtf… worst experience ever. And winter is coming😓
I dont know if I have this😭 I have a sore throat that doesn’t seem like a normal sore throat, constant headache, a white coating on my lips when I wake up, constant mood swings( one minute I’m happy, the next angry, then on the verge of tears😂) and constant fatigue. This don’t seem like a common cold but I could be overthinking it, someone help😭🤣Also I have like a sensitive pain on the left and right side of my neck at the front, is this normal?
My son get cold and fever 15days back they cleared his doctor 5days antibiotics then after he suffered throat pain and coughing then we show pulmonary doctor they tested and no any problem found then they given mouth spary and presnisolone 20mg two times a day for 5days but now also my son 13years age suffering from throat pain and coughing tired what is next Please give repla for me thank you sir
So i have a swollen tonsil on one side and honestly it doesn’t really hurt at all. All it is is a slight discomfort when I swallow here and there and I don’t know what to do? I think medicine is the best way to go but I don’t know
My daughter has tonsillitis. It sometimes causes blurred vision. Could it led to blindness in the future. Considering having them surgically removed.
Can tonsilits cause phelgum?
My tonsils become enlarged that every time i ate something swallowing food become painful now its already gone forever but I've now lost the ability to screech, head noice, or any type of high pitch noice even whistle is impossible now
I dont know how to ask this in google or either go to doctor how do i recover all those ability to do high pitch noice, whistle, etc back
Very nice video. Thanks. Also ujjaiyi pranayama helps .
I'm going through this right now. I wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy. It's up there with the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. 😢
I'm sorry to hear about this, Please know that you're not alone in this, and it's important to take care of yourself. Also make sure to follow your doctor's advice and take the prescribed medication, get plenty of rest, and stay hydrated.
I started Monday morning with a swollen uvula at the back of my throat. I then began burning up and fevering like nothing else. I feel the cold quicker and I slept from half 3-9. Day after I felt better but by 11am, I started fevering again. I’ve been given a lot of phenoxypenicillin. I’m in bed again burning up and my tonsils were all swollen and like white ulcers everywhere!
How long did this last
I'm having the same illness. Please give me advise. I'm really ill.🤒
Everytime I try to hack out the pus my Uvula keep getting caught up in my tonsils as if it feels like I’m swallowing my own uvula, my shit swollen asf dawg nd feels uncomfortable
Burning up in fever with extreme body ache too Idk if it’s the same as urs
This is literally how mine started
I feel I've got this really bad. I feel like I'm swallowing razor blades, the pain of it is awful, can't swallow a flaming thing without it hurting so much, experiencing headaches, I'm very down as well at the moment, can't sleep I'm struggling the signs are there, hopefully can get myself down doctors tomorrow. 😞
I have this but one of my symptoms is that i can't stop drooling. Is that normal?
yeah mate I am now in stage one of tonsillitis. So folks, wish me all the best, for the journey I am about to embark on.
I hope you get well soon.
I’m Currently Experiencing this😖Today is my 4th day sick high fevers every night shivering My throat is on a 9/10 pain wise can’t swallow nothing but fluids hard to eat my eating has been very bad since experiencing this I see alot of stones on my tonsils and now going on to day 5 at 5:16AM as I’m typing this I felt mucus on my throat went to clear it and spit it out I see blood coming with the mucus from my throat🥺I have not seen a doctor as I have no Insurance sadly I’m taking ibuprofen for fever helps a few hours then it comes back me seeing blood today has got me worried and looking things up what lead me to this video.
O_O what the hell? are you alive bro?
What kind of antibiotics are used, or *can be used* for this?
I have a bunch of Amoxicillin on hand.
My Doctor prescribed me the same,But it didn't help
GUYS GOOD NEWS! like 3 months ago just out of the blue one of my tonsils grew, got enlarged - nothing extreme but enough for frustrating tonsil stones to appear. Doctor said its normal and that I probably overcame some illness. I watched a lot of videos, read a lot too, discovered that some peaople have it for a week and some for a few months, also found gargling with salt water (every hour possible). Basically my only problem was that terrible stones even when they were so tiny, I was feeling so uncomfortable... But right now, during the 3rd month that tonsil started to shrink so much, that stones have no place to form at. SO gargle with salt water and wait, dont urge it to get it surgically removed. GL
Thank you for sharing, Glad you feel better now

DO I HAVE TONSILITIS
I have had tonsillitis for more than 15 years of my life now, since back in 2ndary school, I usually have chronic sore throat at night and I couldn't eat, or swallow anything, then the next day, I'd feel better.....
But it got more serious when I became an adult and I started taking antibiotics( penicillin, amoxicillin) . The antibiotics will cure my tonsillitis and after a some days or weeks, my throat will start paining again especially at night and I'll continue taking my antibiotics......
I finally realized that it was becuz I usually drank too much cold water, ice cold water, cold drinks and cold stuff especially at night and that was the cause of my on and off tonsillitis.
I stopped drinking cold water or cold drinks, now just like Chinese people, I only drink warm water, warm tea and sometimes hot soup 🍲 and I have been in China now for 2 years free from my usual tonsillitis. 😅
Glad to hear that.
I’ve had mine for more than 5 years now and I’m going to try this
My lil buddy's buddy hadda step dad that was going on his 17th straight year dealing with a continuous case of Hiccups last I saw him about 22-23 yrs ago.

Can someone please advise how to stop getting Tonsillitis again? What are the precautions of avoiding it? It's very painful and suffering is immense
I took amoxicillin not that long ago for a viral infection. The sore throat went away, but then a couple of days later the pain came back, but this time the pain is located at the left tonsil area. Talking makes it hurt more. Now I have to make another appointment to see a doctor. It sucks.
sorry about the experience. I hope you get better soon.

Currently on day 8 with tonsillitis.. cant even gargle salt water cause my throat is painful and dry! Does anyone also have a lot of thick slime?
Cause this is causing a lot of problems, choking 10x a day is normal now.
The ear pain, stiff neck, wisdom tooth pain, cannot fully open my mouth, bad breath, excessive saliva, thick slime, and the throat… amazing combination! I love it.
This is my first time having it, does this mean it could now come regularly?
Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Symptoms can vary, and not everyone experiences the same ones.
It's not uncommon for people with tonsillitis to experience:
Sore throat: A painful, scratchy, or dry throat is a common symptom.
Difficulty swallowing: Swelling in the throat and tonsils can make it challenging to swallow, and thick mucus can exacerbate this.
Ear pain: The discomfort in the throat can sometimes radiate to the ears.
Stiff neck: Swollen tonsils and lymph nodes may cause neck stiffness.
Wisdom tooth pain: Tonsillitis symptoms can sometimes feel like they're affecting the teeth and jaw.
Bad breath: This can be due to the presence of infection in the throat.
Excessive saliva: The body's response to irritation in the throat can lead to increased saliva production.
Tonsillitis can be caused by various factors, including viral infections like the common cold or bacterial infections like streptococcal bacteria. It doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get tonsillitis regularly in the future, but some people may be more prone to recurrent tonsillitis.
If you've been experiencing symptoms for eight days and they're not improving, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional. They can evaluate your condition, determine the underlying cause, and recommend appropriate treatment, which might include antibiotics for bacterial tonsillitis. In some cases, recurrent or severe tonsillitis may require a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils).
Please seek medical advice for a proper diagnosis and guidance on managing your tonsillitis.
@@MedicalCentricThanks for responding!
My gp just said take more painkillers and it’ll go over.. nothing helpfull at all.
Luckily I took some acetylcysteine cough syrup 3x a day, that cleared most of my tough slime in my throat.
So that i could finally force myself with tears of pain, to drink ibuprofen to ease my fever and pains. Now I’m slowly recovering after 10 days, voice is a bit hoarse and my stomach is still recovering from all the painkillers and no food. Also lost a good amount of muscle and weight.
Never again please.
Hopefully this comment will help some people in the future, the pain will definitely end! Keep fighting
@@JaylanoM People can get ride of it within a day. Sorry that you suffered.
I have had tonsillitis so many times growing up that now my tonsils have many holes in them. They would not remove them because I had high blood pressure until I had a kidney transplant (unrelated other health issues).
Sorry about the experience. Please stay strong.
I have similar issues and I am 51years old. I sometimes get puss pockets and I can practically squeeze the hard puss out the pockets of my tonsils. If not I would feel it scratching the back of my throat. I to have kidney problems and high blood pressure. I wonder will have a hard time getting the do time getting the doctors to remove them. They are causing me to have bad breath.
I have shown the symptoms tonsillitis but haven't had it diagnosed yet(im 18). My ear slightly pains and my throat can suffocate me at night..I keep waking up from my sleep because of discomfort..I think it's caused by drinking tap water 😭 I didn't know and someone gave me tap water
do i have this my toung and inside my neck hurt my father say my trouht will be having hole
I use to have a swollen tonsils before but i got it remove
swollen tonsils did not hurt when it was there it just was pain ful after it was taken out.
I’ve been having tonsillitis for like a week now, this makes me feel sick sometimes🤢 it’s like i wanna throw up but i can’t. I really hope it goes away soon
Sorry about that, I hope you are getting treatment now.
Dealing with it now had a steroid pack, antibiotics and pills to help with swelling.. they’re still swollen and hurt. It’s been like this for a month and a week now. I’d rather have a unnecessary surgery than to deal with this 😂.
So uhm i brushed my tonsillitis and it was bleeding a little😟
I have a bunch if white pouse spots and this thing is so annoying a hard to eat and drink I've been gargling warm salt water but I don't have regular salt I only have I have sea salt the stuff that makes food tastes good I don't think its helping
Tell me about it I'm having is now en it's pain full
I’m 19 I had tonsillectomy surgery when I was 10 it was so painful
Sorry about the experience.
Chronic tonsillitis for 20 years until I discovered a refrigerated throat probiotic lozenge, now I can get rid of it the first sign that I swallow and tonsils dont feel right. Solaray makes the best I've tried, but anything with BLIS and K12 will do
FELLAS *MR OBALAR* ON RUclips CURED ME COMPLETELY ❤…
28yo here I notice Sunday the 28th my throat felt funny when I was swallowing so I opened my mouth and it look like I have tonsils stones I went to the ER and the doctor said the same thing and recommended I go to an ENT which I knew just needed a referral so I made and appointment Monday 29th. The doctor said it just look like good ole tonsillitis and prescribed me antibiotics and to go back in two weeks ugh I hop it clears if not I hope they can do something about it I can't miss work
wishing you a quick recovery
The pain is so bad what causes it tonsils
I don’t have any of the symptoms except the difficulty of swallowing food even water, it feels so bad and just hurts. Any tips?
Kindly visit a doctor for proper diagnosis.
I have tonsilitis since last week wednesday. Started off with a real bad cold and body ache. Thought it was covid but my results came back negative.
Once the cold went away (after day 2), body still continued to ache and my neck started to swell up. I was not able to drink nor eat anything. The best way to ease tonsilitis is to eat pain killers, salt and hot water gargling (atleast 6 times daily, and gargle the whole cup) and eating thc edibles. 😂 Might as well be high and sick than just being miserable and sick. Lol I am now feeling better and able to eat and drink again. Hopefully everyone that has this, recovers fast. 🙏
I'm sorry to hear about your experience and glad you are feeling better now. Thank you for sharing
It hurts
honestly i could deal with the pain of swallowing, but the pounding headache and stiff neck makes it 100 times worse. this SUCKS. the little white nodules on my tonsils grossed me out too.
Sorry about the condition, I hope you are getting treatment and feeling better now
this is the most painful shit i have ever experienced. help.
My daughter had strep throat a month prior her cough never really went away now she’s complaining about her throat hurting again. could she have tonsillitis??
it depends on the symptoms
stop torture kid .Watch goatis new stream about it
First time in 19 years of living feeling a sickness this bad and my goodness shits ass. Now im not sure if i have a peritonitis abscess or tonsillitis, its been three days one tonsil got smaller but the other is bigger now. So its now only hurting on one side if it doesn’t go away by next morning going to the doctor
I’m having the exact same thing. Mind if I ask how it is now and what you did
@@Samuel_kalam i went to the clinic to first find out what it was, turns out my tonsillitis turned into a peritonsillar abscess so i had to go to the er to get an incision drainage. Supposedly an abscess can block your air way which mine was close too so i went in two-three days ago, pain subsided but still a bit irritated cause of the healing factor. I’m actually taking antibiotics rn prescribed by my doctor he told me it should heal or start feeling better 2-3 days after the drainage, which is ehh cause im feeling better but still a pain in the ass however he also said it can also take up to a week to fully heal. He also told me that if the pain worsens or nothing changes to go back in and see if i need another drainage or if the healing is just slow. All in all feeling a bit better than i was when I posted this but its still annoying af which is making it hell hopefully i feel a lot better by tmr or the next day or i at least hope i can swallow with out any irritation by then
Can you get them removed as an adult ?
I’m having it right now on one side and it’s affecting my ear so bad
I have it 2days and until now Even when I drink water my ears is affected.
@@megamind856 I used amoxicillin clavunate 625mg with vitamin C and it disappeared.
Same feels like somebody putting their thumbs in my ear
@@itsmeimnuggas2743 I used Amoxicillin clavunate 625mg with vitamin C
@@motunrayoaramide9289 just got mine , now I gotta wait
I’d give 10 years from my life, just not to have this pain ever again. It’s the worst, I swear😫😭
Sorry about the condition, I hope you get well soon.
@@MedicalCentric ❤️❤️🥺

I on,y watched this because i have it right now. Now, i’m worrying less about what will happen, and more about the surgery part.
Please stay strong. I hope you come out from surgery safe.
@@MedicalCentric Thank you very much.

2023 February 14 I’m suffering with tonsillitis pain can’t eat or swallow can’t enjoy anything
Sorry about the condition, I hope you are getting treatment
Try Solero ice lollies, and icecream, suck icecubes or yoghurt icecubes, the icecream helped me a lot. I made my own too, a more healthy version. I drank warm honey water, cold milk *or allergy free milk. I gargled with salt water regularly. After 4 days if it was still bad I rang up the doctor, and I had bacterial tonsillitus and he gave me pencillion and after 2 days it is better though I have to take 10 days course of treatment. I found strepsill lozanges very good. I hate a whole box of icecream but it was the only thing that really worked well for me. When I got a bit better I could eat a bit of cooked spinage. Make sure your room is warm. The cold air makes it so much worse, Keep hydrated... even if difficult with cool or warm water/milk
I had tonsil stones when I was a child it soo hard to swallow and it feel something is stuck on my throat I remove my tonsil stones and its not hurting anymore after removing my tonsil stones I go to the dentist to keep it sure..
When you have tonsil eat soft food when I have tonsil its hard to swallow right. Well when i eat soft foods like rice with milk powder its not very hard to swallow
when you have tonsil stones you can remove it by using cotton buds when you
remove it go to a dentist to keep it sure..

@@bryllorellana4166 painful right?
I have this since I was 6or 7 and repeat very frequently
I just found out yesterday I do have common colds just though it was hayfever
I’m literally never vaping again. I’ve said this a few times but tonsillitis is super awful, it hurts to swallow , eat. I feel super fatigued. It’s been days without vaping and my tonsils are still inflamed and sore!! I still crave nicotine but the tonsillitis is so unbearable I don’t even care about the cravings, I just want cold water and ice cream 😭
Do you think vaping contributed to getting tonsillitis?
@@pinhead1990duh that’s why they said they stopped.
@@apathy2454 duh they said they had stopped vaping, they never said that they believe that vaping caused tonsillitis, hence my question.
Starting taking penicillin & goody mixed berry went away within a week. Feel so much better now :)
Penicillin did the trick, not the berries
Can you get penicillin over the counter?
Everybody here experiencing the same thing but at different times. If you guys can make it, hopefully I can too.
Stay strong pleas. it gets better
