A member asked:

Sinus infection/cold in last two months; tonsils inflamed for 3 weeks and wont go away despite levaquin (levofloxacin) and prednisone for the sinus issue. no symptom?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tonsillitis: These organs are part of the immune system and when inflamed are generally doing their job appropriately. Occasionally they may be overwhelmed by infection and then have to be removed, but this decision is best made by frequency of symptomatic disease and examination by an ENT doctor. This is the person to go to if you want these tonsils examined. Good luck.
