A member asked:
Would a wisdom tooth breaking through the gum make your tonsil swell and your ear to itch?

ENT issue: Generally not. This could be the sign of a tonsillar infection. Please see your ENT asap.

Tooth breaking gum: The eruption of a posterior (rear) tooth can cause general malaise, a fever up to 100 degrees and soreness in the tonsillar pillars. Itching of the ear is not a common sequella of tooth eruption.
