Tonsil Pain. Skin Inside Cheeks Is Very Irritated And Red. Removing Tonsil Is The Only Method To Stop This?
Hi,
It's been exactly two weeks since I've been feeling tonsil pain although examining my left tonsil I don't think it's actually coming from my tonsils but rather the skin from my cheeks trying to cover my left tonsil. This skin is very irritated and red. Would removing my tonsils be the only method to stop this? It's very painful

Hi
Once your tonsils inflammed you will have pain to the near structures.It can be due to inflamation and nerve sensitisation.You should have a proper antibiotic for a proper duration anlgesics and vitamins.You can have warm chicken soup.You can use gargle preparations like aspirin for gargle that will relieve your pain. Tonsillectomy is a last option.Now most doctors not preffering it also.Should have a proper dental and mouth hygeine.And you can take vitamin C regularly also.these all may help you not getting infection again.Hope this may helpyou
thanks
