Tonsillitis V's Throat cancer...Please help!?!
Question: Tonsillitis V's Throat cancer!.!.!.Please help!!?
OK I don't want to over re-act, but i am getting worried!. My father had throat cancer & i believe this type of cancer is not genetic however they only found he had it due to having his tonsils out!.
I suffer with tonsillitis alot!.!.!. 3/4 times a year and i get it very bad it's now time to have them out (Doc's advise) but this time i have tonsillitis it's not clearing up, i've had antibiotics and due to go back to doc who is going to give a different type of antibiotic!. BUT should i ask / tell the doc about my dad and could i have the same!. Is there a test, will the doc think i'm over re-acting if i have just got tonsillitis!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
your worry is warranted, just casually mention your dads situation when your in with the doc, and say its been on your mindWww@Answer-Health@Com
It never hurts just to ask!. Doctors are very used to that kind of thing, and I'm sure he/she will gladly answer your question!. Besides, you'll feel a lot better after asking!.
It's very unlikely that you have throat cancer - it sounds like you just have bad tonsillitis!. You may want to ask about getting them removed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If there is ever a doctor who thinks or treats you like you're over reacting when you ask them a question they should be fired!!!! There are so many thing that could happent o people that it's the smart ones who ask questions! I wouldn't worry too much until then!. Talk to your doc!. and ask any questions you want to!. If the antibiotics dont work then it sounds like you need a got them taken out!. Tonsils filter viruses from entering your body!. so just maintain a healthy lifestyle!. you can eat unhealthy food i just mean, no smoking and no excessive drinking!. dont' listen to me, im just a 14 year old hypochondriac!. but being one i know that just someone telling positive things can help!. but I wouldn't lie to help someone feel better!. ask your doctor questions then decide from there!. good luck, and im sure everything will be fine! :)
