Why is one tonsil larger with sore throat?

I'm having one tonsil bigger than the other and feeling Abit of a sore throat

1 Answer

Answered on 7th Oct '24

A sore throat can lead to a situation when one of your tonsils is larger than the other. Infections such as tonsillitis may be one reason but irritation is also a possible cause. Besides a sore throat, you may also have trouble swallowing, swollen lymph nodes, and a cough. Warm fluids and gargling with salt water are some ways to help. If it still doesn't get better, visit an ENT specialist.

Female | 25

This sounds like what is called bolus sensation in the throat which usually is due to what's called acid reflux/ GERD. There can be many other cases too. Please visit ENT doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Right ear voice not responding

Male | Utkarsh singh

You might be having some issues with your ear if the sound coming from your right ear is not working as it should. This could be the result of a foreign object blocking the ear canal or a malfunction of the nerves in the ear. To solve this, you should consult an audiologist who is a specialist in hearing disorders. The audiologist will be able to diagnose the problem and also help you improve your hearing.

Ever since I was diagnosed with allergies rhinitis I can't stop producing clear mucus and Iits been six months

Female | 22

It is caused when the body is fighting off allergens, such as dust and pollen, in the nasal passages. This kind of disease is seasonal and it may become severe if not controlled. Employing saltwater nasal sprays, keeping away from various triggers like dust, and staying hydrated can reduce the production of the excreted mucus.

I have a pill lodged into my throat but I can breathe, and have tried many ways using water to get it out. Any suggestions?

Male | 16

Any pill lodged in the throat will start to dissolve, so rest assured it will not stay stuck for long. You can try eating bananas or fat rich foods that can slide the pill down if it has gotten attached to any part of the throat. It is less likely to cause any major problems. If the sensation persists beyond one day, please visit your ent for a video endoscopic evaluation

Hello Dr , I am 45 years old and having benign tumor in parotid gland so pls advise on cist of surgery and recovery period pls

Male | 45

A benign parotid gland tumor refers to a non-cancerous growth in a salivary gland located at the side of your ear. Symptoms may include a bulge in the cheek or jaw area. In most cases, surgery is the primary method of dealing with the tumor. In most cases, the recovery time can be a bit longer than a few weeks. Adhering to your doctor's instructions post-surgery is essential for proper recovery.

Sir Naku గొంతు infection వచ్చింది సార్. నేను వెంటనే ENT హాస్పిటల్ కి వెళ్ళాను.దానికి నాకు కొన్ని మందులు ఇచ్చారు డాక్టర్ గారు. అవి ఏంటంటే paracetamol tablets and multivitamin tablets and ferrous sulphate and folic acid tablets and cefixime tablet200 ml ఇచ్చారు అందులో ఒక్కొక్క దానిలో ఆరు వేసుకున్నాను. ఆ తర్వాత నుంచి కడుపుతో ఉబ్బరంగా,బరువుగా,ఏదో తిన్నట్టు బరువుగా అనిపిస్తుంది. పొత్తికడుపు పైన పట్టిసినట్టు గట్టిగా సూదిలో గుచ్చుతుంది నొప్పి వస్తుంది. ఎడమవైపు chest కింద కూడా సూదిలా గుచ్చుతున్నట్టు నొప్పి వస్తుంది. అలాగే డాక్టర్ గారు ఈనెల నేను 11న పిరియడ్ అవ్వాల్సిందే ఇంకా నేను అవ్వలేదు. వీటిని కారణాలు ఏమిటి డాక్టర్ గారు.

You're dealing with a throat infection, along with swelling, weight loss, fatigue, and difficulty swallowing. These symptoms could stem from infections, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances. It's important to follow up with an ENT specialist for a proper checkup and treatment. In the meantime, stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, avoid smoking and hot food, and eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables to support your immune system.

I am 35 yrs old male and I have problem with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Is there any treatment for this problem

Male | 35

A routine brain MRI with attention to the internal auditory meatus should be requested in acute cases where no cause is detected and idiopathic origin is assumed. These individuals are usually started on oral corticosteroids with a prednisone dose of 1 mg/kg/day (max 60 mg/day) for seven days and then decreased during the following week.

Hearing aids, of which there are many sorts, are the basis of treatment in chronic situations. Even in mild or severe cases of presbycusis, hearing aids are beneficial to the majority of patients. [19] There is no way to restore former hearing thresholds, and due to psychosocial comorbidities, audiological rehabilitation support is especially necessary in these patients.

The most prevalent equipment for treating hearing loss are traditional behind-the-ear air conduction hearing aids.

Hearing aids with bilateral microphones and contralateral signal routing (BiCROS) are similar, but a microphone also helps the better hearing ear on the same side.
