How do you purposely get tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis is when the tonsils — fleshy pads on each side of the back of the throat — become infected with a virus or bacteria. A common childhood ailment, tonsillitis causes the tonsils to become swollen and painful. You can not intentionally catch a virus or bacteria. Do you understand that there are some very serious risks to any and all surgery and that there would have to be a very compelling reason to subject someone to those risks?
Can stress cause tonsillitis?
I seem to be getting tonsillitis a lot lately ever since I have graduated from school. I have been stressed because of job seeking. I can't find any work. And the other week my grandpa had a heart attack and as soon as I found that out I got tonsillitis. (He is fine now) And every time I get my period I stress over that and now because of that I have a sore throat and swollen tonsils. Could stress be the reason for this?
Am I getting tonsillitis again?
If you are running fevers, it's probably not a cold. If you are feverish you should go back to your doctor. Some lab work might be in order--a throat swab, blood count, etc. If you're not feverish, supportive care for a cold is the way to go. Get plenty of sleep, drink lots of fluids, especially warm stuff like tea & chicken soup (it's not called Jewish penicillin for nothing!), warm salt water gargles, saline nasal spray or a Neti pot, and OTC meds to treat your symptoms. Ibuprofen will help relieve your sore throat, guaifenesin to help with getting rid of the phlegm, and the like. Sometimes an allergy medicine can help relieve some of your symptoms. If you run a temp over 101.5 F, it's truly a fever and you should see a doctor. A full course of antibiotics should have knocked out any sort of bacterial infection, unless it wasn't the right antibiotic. Feel better!
How come I have tonsilitis again after 3 weeks?
A sore throat is one of the most common complaints that patients go to see a physician. For any suspected infection a clinician looks for three things, redness, swelling and the presence of pus. Any infection can reoccur. You could have tonsillitis every month for years. An accurately diagnosed case of the most common type of tonsillitis is caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus. Even if you do not treat you're infection, the vast majority to the time you're own immune system will cure it in five days. The proper use of antibiotics within the first two days will greatly hasten recovery. It will also prevent some of the rare possible complications that will occur without treatment; Rheumatic fever (which can harm one's heart valves), a type of inflammation of you're kidney's called glomerulonephritis), and an abscess in you're tonsil which might require an emergency surgery to remove the tonsil. The first two complications almost only happen in children. If you have children they can harbor the strep bacteria without having any symptoms. They can reinfect you. I am going to assume that you're first case of tonsillitis was resolved. If it wasn't it could have been caused by other types of bacteria including gonorrhea from oral sex. If you keep having tonsillitis, you might want to consult a specialist in ear, nose, and throat to consider having you're tonsils removed. You will be surprised how fewer sore throats you have the rest of you're life when you're tonsils are removed. People with recurrent tonsillitis tend to have very large ones. They can cause you to snore. Any obstruction of you're breathing at night not only will disturb you're bed partner, it can hurt you're long term overall health.
Can you get tonsillitis from kissing someone?
He may be a carrier. And do you mean you got strep throat type tonsillitis? Did you ever have runny nose with your sore throat? So some people can be carriers of strep throat (tonsillitis). Ask him to get a throat culture to find out if he is a carrier. Carriers don't get sick, they just give the illness to others. You have to find out if it was strep throat tonsillitis. Did you get treated with antibiotics? Get a strep test? Next time you need to do that. EDIT; a carrier of strep can take antibiotics and most of the time it will cure the carrier state.
Is it possible to get tonsillitis from having oral sex?
I know you can get tonsillitis from giving someone head who has an STD, but is it possible to get tonsillitis if they don't? Could it just be that I irritated my tonsils from oral sex and bacteria got in it? I'm pretty sure it's from oral and not anything else because I have gotten it twice now and both times noticed it a couple days after giving head.
Can you get tonsillitis without tonsils?
I know tonsillitis spreads from person to person by contact with the throat or nasal fluids of someone who is already infected. But what if the other person already has had their tonsils removed? Are they immune to the bacteria/virus, or does it affect them in a different way?
