Mouth ulcers: Doesn't sound like tonsillitis.  Sounds like 'aphthous ulcers' or 'canker sores' that can be caused by nutritional or vitamin deficiency, weakened immune system, infection, chronic disease, or unknown causes.  Make an appt for an ENT or oral surgeon to examine you.

Accepted Answer

Examination: You should start by seeing your own primary care physician for an in office evaluation. If he/she thinks it&#x27;s appropriate, you may be referred to your dentist.  The symptoms you mention may or may not be related. We can&#x27;t determine that over the internet.

Question 8

i feel i have tonsillitis on left side only.. pain in teeth same side but can't pinpoint which tooth.. could it be an abscess?

Accepted Answer

Self diagnosis: Self diagnosis is, at best, an iffy business.  Please see your physician (or ent) to evaluate your tonsils and associated structures.  Please see your dentist to determine the source of your mouth pain.  Abscessed tooth is just one of many possibilities.  Source(s) of pain should be diagnosed asap to delineate appropriate treatment.
