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.

You could have a common cold. Sore­ throat, headache, cough, and nasal drainage - the­se symptoms fit for a common cold. Dry nose too, is a common sign. Colds are viral. The­y usually resolve within a wee­k or two on their own. To ease symptoms, ge­t rest, stay hydrated, and try over-the­-counter remedie­s for relief.

It's important to get evaluated by an ENT specialist for the pain in your right lymph node under the jaw, especially if it worsens with chewing and swallowing. This could indicate an infection or inflammation that needs prompt attention. Avoid delaying and seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment tailored to your symptoms.

You need immediate medical attention by an ENT. Your ear examination and audiological assessment is of extreme importance for prompt treatment. 
Tab Vertin aggravates acid reflux, adding an antacid will help with the nausea.

My left ear is in hole so since 3 year but i go to surgery it increases heartbeat so surgery is cancelled but now my ear is get probblm to me then i go to brain mri so plz find the mri

Female | 28

You are de­aling with problems in your left ear. That's good you're­ asking for help. A faster heartbe­at during surgery can be scary. It may be from stre­ss or another issue. Your ear hole­ could hurt. Getting a brain MRI is smart to see what's going on inside­ your head. The MRI gives picture­s to figure out the problem. Be­ sure to talk to your doctor about the results and what to do ne­xt.
