A member asked:
Swollen tonsils for 3/4 months, no white spots or pus, but very painful, came back clear of strep and glandular, could wisdom teeth be the cause? or?

Infection: The tonsils can get chronic infection quieting down with antibiotic use and then flaring up again. Adenoids are also usually infected and thus the name t&a for the surgery usually performed after thorough exam by ENT specialist.
