Can Tonsillitis Cause Abdominal Pain?
Hi, can tonsillitis cause abdominal aches? I have had recurrent swollen tonsils for about 2 years (still haven t gotten them out) along with a stint of both mono and chlamydia in the throat. I am a 20 year old male in college, and I am very worried about the severity of my swollen lymph nodes at this point. Could they be causing the frequent dull aches in my ear, jaw, and abdomen? Or is it the infection itself? Please respond at your earliest convenience

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Tonsillitis causes dull pain in the ear and jaw due to blockage of eustasian tube. As it may cause abdominal pain, if source of infection is same as unhygienic water and food. I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Take care!
