7 Week Swelling of Tonsils! Posted: 01-28-06 11:03am
This morning I have blisters on my right
tonsil and can hardly swallow. My tonsils
have been swollen since early december,
the doctor prescribed penicillin but the
symptoms took at least two weeks to go.
The sore throat reappeared suddenly on the
5th of january, the doctor prescribed
penicillin again and took a throat swab
which proved negative, so the disease was
not bacterial. I recovered more quickly
this time, but had a blood test to test
for eb virus, which was again negative.
All three times my throat has been close
to closing up and I almost couldnt
swallow; the tonsils are very swollen and
never really went down since the 1st
occurence. This morning, the right tonsil
is pushing my uvula to one side, and there
is hardly any passage imbetween my
tonsils. As it is a saturday today, I
cant see a doctor until monday, any advice
would be really appreciated, thanks,
felix.
