A member asked:
I touched the top of my right tonsil. pain spread throughout my neck and head. when i touch other parts of the tonsil it doesnt hurt. is this normal?

Not normal: It's not normal to reach into your mouth to check the effect of touching various parts of your tonsil. It reflects anxiety. But the pain itself, if present only upon such touch, is nothing to worry about.
