A member asked:

Right tonsil swollen 4 two months-fatigue and ear aches-swallowing and breathing hard to do-no mono, strep, tonsilitis-no antibiotics and steroids helpe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tonsillitis: If your tonsil is enlarged and painful and you are having ear pain (this may be referred pain from back of throat) it might benefit you to see an ENT doctor, but without the ability to examine you cannot help very much. Good luck and hope you get help soon.
