What Do Swollen Tonsils And Gums Indicate?
I went to the doctor a few days ago over my throat, my tonsils are swollen, and I can hardly swallow anything. But now my bottom gums have become very sensitive and my tongue has gotten some swollen spots on the side, she tested me for strep throat and flu and they both came back negative.
