What's going on here?!


Question: What's going on here!?
I'm 16, and I've had a sore throat for about 2 weeks!. the first theory was because it was from my allergies!. but it hurts soo bad all the time!. I feel like all the walls and back of my throat are swollen, esp on one side!. could this mean I need my tonsils out!? If not, can you tell me what it might be!.!.and how to help it!? What happens after you have your tonsils taken out!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I'd say you for sure need to go to the doctor to get it checked out!. You shouldn't ever have a sore throat for longer than 2 weeks!. To answer your question, I think it's doubtful you would need your tonsils taken out at this point, unless you've had recurring throat problems!. My best guess is either allergies, or strep throat- which needs to be treated ASAP!. I had my tonsils taken out when I was 16, but I had strep throat 4 times in a row, and then tonsillitis 3 times in a row before they decided to take them out!. It wasn't real scary or anything, and they let me keep them! Gross, I know, but I thought it was funny to scare my friends! The surgery took about an hour,and I felt better in about a week :)
And, I'm 24 now, and have Never, Ever had strep, or tonsillitis again!
So, get to the doc, just to make sure, ok!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would make an appointment with your doctor tomorrow!. It's not that common for people to get their tonsils out nowadays!.!.!. so I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet!.

I'm guessing you have a Bacterial or Viral infection - could be Strep Throat or Laryngitis, which needs to be treated with antibiotics, or you could become seriously ill!. Another possibility could be Mono, an environmental allergy, or food allergy!.

If I was you, I would gargle with Warm Salt Water and take a Benadryl (that helps with swelling and allergic reactions) tonight!. If you have it, gargle with Vinegar (especially Apple Cider Vinegar); it tastes nasty but will start to kill any infection you might have!.

Please go get checked out tomorrow!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

When i had my tonsils taken out it was just the back of my throught not the whole back!. Their only in one spot so you might be sick with the flu or something!.

There are these professionals known commonly as doctors!. They say that these doctors examine you and diagnose your health problems!. But I don't think it's true!. I think doctors are a figment of somebodies' over active imagination!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
