What should I do about my bleeding, swollen tonsil?
Patient's Query
I am 15 years old and I’ve had a really bad tonsil pain on the right side for the last 4 days, my tonsil looks swollen and it has a bunch of white stuff around it and it bleeds every once in a while. What should I do?
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
You could have tonsillitis. When your tonsils, which are small organs in the back of your throat, get infected or inflamed, it's called tonsillitis. Symptoms may include throat pain, swollen tonsils with white patches and sometimes bleeding. To relieve these symptoms you must drink fluids, rest well, and gargle with warm salt water gently. In case they persist or worsen, you should consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
