What Does A Swelling In The Tonsil And Gum Indicate?
I can't work out if I h e a tooth abscess or tonsilitis. My tonsils are swollen on one side of my mouth and I feel generally unwell, the gum around my wisdom tooth is also slightly swollen I cannot tell what is causing the pain. I also can't decide whether to go to the dentist or doctors for an emergency appointment.

Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
I have gone through your history.
For the gum swelling around wisdom tooth, you need to do warm saline gargles 3-4 times in a day. And visit a dentist for complete consultation.
For tonsillitis, you should visit an ENT specialist for proper treatment.
Meanwhile you can take Flozen AA or Ketorol DT 2 times a day for pain relief.
Hope my reply will help you.
