Question 2

swollen bumpy tonsils but i'm not sick at all. no sore throat, no symptoms of sickness. why are they swollen and bumpy?

Accepted Answer

Tonsillar: hyperplasia is probably the cause of the swollen bumpy tonsils. May need tonsillectomy if it causes any problem in the future.

Question 3

i am having a sore throat.  bumpy looking tonsils and tiny yellow spot . palatoglossal arch with white spots .. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is very painful, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Some throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) can lessen pain.

Question 4

i have a white bumpy thing near the tonsil for few weeks.it is painless,no fever,ear feels little itchy.what is it?

Accepted Answer

Most of the causes: of a "white bumpy thing near the tonsil" would be painful: bacteria/strep or viral sore throat; tonsil stones; thrush or candidiasis caused by yeast; oral herpes; mononucleosis. Leukoplakia is white patches often associated with smoking or chewing tobacco. My first thought would be a stone: calcium deposit which has formed in a small crevice of a tonsil caused by bacteria, unswallowed food.See Doc

Question 7

i am day 28 post op for an tonsillectomy. i was wondering if it's normal to have bumpy enlarged areas where the scabs used to be in my tonsil beds?

Granulation tissue: This is not unusual at all. The healing response is called granulation tissue and the mucus membrane can have an irregular texture. By 2-3 months postop, everything should look relatively normal.
