You should be seen by a dentist with tmd\tmj experience and training for a one on one evaluation and treatment, rather than relying on answers by dentists over the internet.

Question 1

Posterior pillar of the palatine tonsil swollen one side? what causes this.. its been like that for a while.. theres no pain or anything like that every now and then i get a sharp pain on that side thought.

Accepted Answer

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Unilateral lesions are more of a concern.  It would be prudent to see your doctor, preferably an ENT doctor. 
Wish you good health!

Question 2

I have a really sharp pain in my right tonsil and i have bad tonsil stones all the time. my tonsils tend to swell often but my regular doctor says it's just caused by allergies. is it a good idea to get my tonsils removed because i'm really tired of havin

Accepted Answer

sorry you're having so much trouble with tonsil stones but tonsillectomy is the best way to eradicate the problem.

Question 3

Tonsil scab stuck in throat and causing sharp pain. i also get burning sensations in my throat. is this all caused by the tonsil scabs falling off?

Accepted Answer

I would agree that most of what you describe is fairly typical after tonsillectomy. The scabs initially form and protect the  area, then as they start to fall off, there is some increased pain and sensitivity. When they fall off completely, there can be a spike in the pain, and then things start to improve.

Question 4

I have a sharp pain at the far end if my mouth it feels like i am teething but no sign of any growth it has caused stiffness and pain when opening jaw?

Accepted Answer

Very possible you have a wisdom tooth that is trying to erupt. To know for sure, please visit a local dentist for a consultation.

It is likely tmj. Try Ibuprofen or see an oral facial maxial surgeon. But please see a doctor if this is really affecting you.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

What you have are symptoms that are telling you something's wrong.  Please see your GP or an ENT for differential diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Question 8

I'm on day 8 of getting my tonsils removed and under the right one there is a sharp pain, does this mean it's infected?

Accepted Answer

It takes about 10 days to completely recover from a tonsillectomy.  Sometimes the pain can last for 14 days. Obviously, if you feel that the pain is not tolerable, see your ENT surgeon. Post op tonsillectomy infections are not common.

Question 9

I have a very sharp pain just below left side of my jaw. tonsils area. i don't know what it is?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like an inflamed lymph node. I am uncertain without an examination. This is common from viral or bacterial infections. There are several other possibitlies

Question 10

I have a sharp pain in my left tonsil that leads to my ear.  am i coming down with something?

Accepted Answer

It can be inflammation due to infection, local trauma or local irritation such as a foreign body. The fact it is one side argues against a viral or bacterial pharyngitis.  Pain radiating from tonsil to ear is common as there is a shared nerve supply.
