IM 33YRS OLD AND THE DOC HAS TOLD ME TODAY THAT I HAVE A ENLARGED LINGUAL TONSIL AND THAT I HAVE TONSILITIS.

I DONT HAVE NORMAL TOSILS AS MINE WERE TAKEN OUT WHEN I WAS 5YRS OLD BUT THE LAST 3 YRS THEY HAVE GROWN BACK.

WHAT R THE SYMPTOMS OF TONSILITIS?

I HAVE BEEN GETTING A STIFF NECK ON BOTH SIDES, JAW STIFFNESS, A FEELING THAT THE PART UNDER MY TONGUE IS SWELLING AND ACCASIONAL STONES :eek:

THANK YOU

Any Body Out There??????


Any Info Would Be Greatly Appreciated

tonsils will be swollen, red, may even exhibit pus on the surface. You may have a fever although at our age it's not uncommon to not have a fever. Jaw stiffness is not uncommon. There is argument about whether or not stones mean infection is present. I have had stones when my tonsils were flared and when they weren't so... But if you went to the doc you should have been given diagnosis and RX I am guessing.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLIES,

MY TONSIL DIDNT LOOK INFLAMMED I THINK THE DOC WAS GOING BY MY SYMPTOMS MY SON HAS CONSTANT TROUBLES WITH HIS TONSILS SO IM NOT SURE IF IM GETTING IT FROM,

MY TONSILS ARE NOT VERY BIG THEY ARE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A 20P PIECE AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE MY TONSILS WHERE TAKEN OUT WHEN I WAS 5 ALONG WITH MY ADENOIDS WHETHER THIS HAS ANYTHING WITH MY CONSTANT MOUTH BREATHING IM NOT SURE,

DOES ANYONE NO WHY IM GETTING THIS FEELING THAT THE FLOOR OF MY MOUTH IS SWELLING ALTHOUGH WHEN I LOOK IT DOESNT APPEAR TO BE .

AGAIN THANK YOU FOR REPLIES
