My mouth hurts. how do i tell if its my tonsils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an ENT Doc: Your mouth contains many structures that can cause pain. The tongue, the pharynx (back of the mouth) and of course the tonsils. You obviously need a diagnosis. The specialty that has expertise in this anatomic location is either an ENT surgeon or an oral surgeon. Of course, you can look in the mirror and if you see 2 large red pussy structures, it is tonsillitis. You still need a diagnosis.
