Can tonsillitis pain radiate down the neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsillitis: Hello. The nerve endings in the tonsillar area have very complex innervations that extend to different areas. The pain can radiate to the ears, throat, neck, jaw, and cheeks. It is common to see pain shift during tonsillar infections and after resection.
