What Causes Persistently Swollen Tonsils?
What could be causing inflamed tonsils and what seems to be inflamed taste buds? A white coating occasionally covers my tongue but can be easily cleaned off. I have not noticed or been told that my breath is any worse and my girlfriend would surely tell me. It is not painful except for my tongue but it isn t that bad. The swollen tonsils were originally believed to be strep or mono but both were ruled out.

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have swollen tonsils and inflamed taste buds dont be worried so much I will suggest you to clean your tongue with help of tongue scraper and you can do mouthwash like chlorhexidine and you can apply on tongue candid gel . Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day and you can take medicine like Azithromycin by consulting with your local doctor.
