A member asked:
For the last 3 months i keep getting one sided tonsil and neck lymphnode pain. not always the same side. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymph tissue: Hello. The lymph tissue located around the tonsillar tissue becomes inflamed and painful with infection. Sometimes tonsillar tissue holds food particles which traps bacteria beneath. This can cause "micro abscesses" leading to the inflammation. Gargle with water after meals and use pain medications if needed. See your doctor for confirmation. Good luck.
