Question 1

had surgery cyst removed on tonsil?can ear be affected?

Accepted Answer

YES: The eustachian tube connects the inner ear to the oropharynx (back of the throat).  Its putpose is to equalize pressure on the ear drum.  It is above the tonsil but can be affected by swelling with tonsil surgery.  It should settle down within a few days if this is your problem.  Your surgeon should be able to confirm your problem during a follow up visit.

Question 7

How long ago ?: Your post did not say. Sometimes these wounds take time to heal. Your best bet is to call the surgeon who performed the procedure for a follow up appointment.

Question 8

i constantly thirsty no matter how much water i drink . i also take re-hydrate. i have a sore throat, ear ache, dry mouth especially the roof of the mouth.  weeks now. i also have lower back and slight womb pain (cyst removed from  womb a year ago ?

Accepted Answer

"thirsty" ?'s: A "constant thirst" may be a symptom of adult onset diabetes (type 2), or simply still a result of inadequate water intake to overcome dehydration.  Ask your physician for a glucose tolerance test, and other testing to determine the cause.

Question 9

what causes tonsil cysts?

Accepted Answer

Not to worry: The tonsils in the throat are lined with squamous epithelium (skin).  Sometimes the normal growth of this lining can invaginate and grow inwards causing a benign cyst.  If there is no redness around the cyst and if does not cause pain or enlarge, i would not worry about it.  The question is, is this really a cyst?  See an ENT doctor for reassurance.

Question 10

does a tonsil cyst go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: They may spontaneously drain, but if they persist and are symptomatic, best to see your otolaryngologist.
