In the last 8 months I had 5 streps or tonsillitis...now I have a feeling of the dry throat, dificulties sollowing and sometimes slight chest pain. I also notices a size of a marble growth just under my right tonsill , its the same colour as rest of my tonisl.
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. As far as the growth below the tonsil can be a peritonsillar abscess or tonsillar hyperplasia. Nothing to be panic, you can consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. I hope I have answered your query. Take care
