Currently experiencing this right now and I wouldn’t wish this on my worse enemy
Hi friend, I'm experiencing this now,and I do share the same sentiments.
I got this when I was like 4 and have vivid memories of it my tonsils ended up getting removed but it was pretty chill I just remember being sick it playing with my inflamed tonsils when I got bored probably made it more inflamed it hurt alot when I did that but I still did it 🤷 but overall it was fun surgery experience and I got a Panda Teddy bear which I still have to this day🥳 also I had phnomia when I was in fifth grade but that was fun cuz I got to watch movies while in the hospital
Currently have Tonsillitis right now. Have been bed ridden for the past 4 days. It's the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life
I feel you, I'm having it right now, haven't eaten for 3 days, damn nightmare. And the antibiotics won't kick in, even though it's been 48 hours since I started taking them
@@casualkave537 hey how you guys been feeling right now
@@Razan3bdullah Im good, thankfully. The antibiotics worked after 5 days, after that I continued to take them for 5 more days. I also went to a doctor and got an anti inflamatory shot, that helped a lot.
I’m on my 4th day now 😂. This shii is terrible
@@FishScaleDuke You are going to get better soon, I promise:) good luck man
I am currently suffering with bacterial tonsollitis (worse than covid in my opinion) - not a healthcare student at all haha but I really enjoyed how in depth but yet simple this video was to understand! thankyou
WAY WORSE THEN COVID THIS SHIT SUCKS
I agree. I thought it was worse than Covid too!
@@kkashvegas 100% worse than covid got it right now eating ice cream trying to understand my body 🤣
Try not to ingest too much bacteria...the build up might get stuck in the prefrontal cortex and slowly cause brain cancer.
Currently got bacterial tonsilitis, genuinely looks like my tonsils are two balls of puss infested snails. It’s awful. The agony, the pain. Honestly would take covid ten times over this hellish illness.
As a long time sufferer of Bacterial Tonsillitis, thank you for this video. The last time I fell ill I couldn’t get an appointment with my GP so had to see a visiting locum, (small country town in NSW, Australia) she prescribed me steroids to take for a couple of days first and a script for antibiotics with instructions to not fill the AB script unless I 100% need it. She explained that steroids are the first line of defence now. My tonsils were the worst they had ever been after the steroids, so obviously I needed the AB. I was talking to my Osteo about it and she explained that it is a way they can now see whether it is viral or bacterial. I was meant to get the buggers taken out in 2009 but unfortunately other illness and many, many operations have since entered the room and it is on the list of to-do’s.
That sounds nasty. hope you get it sorted
Excellent overview! I’ve had tonsillitis a few times and I suspect I have it again. I wanted to understand more about the differences between viral and bacterial as I have had both. Antibiotics are the last line of defense and if it’s viral, there’s no need. I’ll admit it’s nice when it’s bacterial because you can TREAT the infection. I hope someday antivirals are able to help in the same way antibiotics have.
Excellent overview for medicine student as well as for patient
Well compiled in short. Thank you 🙏🏻
Love this, not the fact I have this and Otitis Media with Tonsillitis but such a well put together video. Bravo!!
Thank you for this amazing walk through. I am so weary and feeling so sick.
Thank You So Much for this video!
Thank you for the explanations. I totally understand everything.. You have really helped me
This video is great, really helpful thanks 🙏🏼
GUYS GOOD NEWS! like 3 months ago just out of the blue one of my tonsils grew, got enlarged - nothing extreme but enough for frustrating tonsil stones to appear. Doctor said its normal and that I probably overcame some illness. I watched a lot of videos, read a lot too, discovered that some peaople have it for a week and some for a few months, also found gargling with salt water (every hour possible). Basically my only problem was that terrible stones even when they were so tiny, I was feeling so uncomfortable... But right now, during the 3rd month that tonsil started to shrink so much, that stones have no place to form at. SO gargle with salt water and wait, dont urge it to get it surgically removed. GL
Can i use pink salt?
@@maddestroyer934 Its primarily used for cooking, but NaCl there is the same, so I guess it has the same effect. Btw,... I think that salt is just something like Listerine, you know to kill bacteria.. idk if the salt could be responsible for that shrinking.. but still, it wont do anything wrong.
How are you now? How long did you have unhealthy tonsills? Are you full recovered? I have about 4 months... i have taken antibiotics 3 times but it always returns. 😭😭
It really help me in my studies..thanks for this video ..hope. New video for another topic ..❤
Everyone watching this has tonsillitis 😭
Some has exam 😂
I see, so I have a mild case of the viral tonsillitis. My throat is sore, yet I have these annoying swollen nodes on the left side of the back of my throat. It feels like I have food stuck in my throat. As a vocalist, this is seriously annoying to have. It’s been improving with regular warm salt water gurgling and hot tea with lemon and honey. I’ve also been doing lymphatic drainage massages in my face and neck, which has helped tremendously.
@@sanatasneem126 waassasaaasasassaasassaaaassaaasaaaaasaaaaaaasaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaasassaaaasaaassasa
What does it feel like? I’m a vocalist too and I’m having challenges with my throat
Well explained but I need to know if tonsillitis can cause the circulatory system to slow down to the point where it's not possible for blood transfusion to be done normally and this has to be done via the groin or neck .
I await your response.
Thanks for good explaination
Much appreciated, thankyou
Helped me through subsurgery rotations including ENT. Highly recommend😄
Very informative
Thanks. Brief and we'll detailed
Im having big tonsillitis it so hurt to swallow omg😭😭😭 what should i do this is the worse than headache or stomachache
Bruh I'm dying over here I can't even sleep
same i didn't ssleep or eat the day of the pick of illness, 3 days in, feeling better (with antibiotics)
Good day doc, Im suffering from tonsilitis in 3 days row now, my dr. Gave me traxone 2gm IV for 5 days and metronidazole oral for 7 days, still have high fever above 39c..
In most cases of uncomplicated tonsillitis, antibiotics are not indicated and even with a positive centor (score 4-5) there are many false positives. Furthermore even if there is bacterial tonsillitis antibiotics only shorten the disease course by 1 or 2 days.
Very helpful and informative, thank you 👍🏽
thanks!
Thanks for the informative video
Glad it was helpful!
I get tonsillitis every so often and It’s such a horrible feeling getting it. A few years back it got so bad that a decision was made to drain my tonsils. The smell was super foul and I was throwing up pus and blood. I was on morphine and penicillin for a month. So now I’ve learned to immediately gargle with warm water and salt. And if I have penicillin laying around best believe I’m taking it asap
your so lucky they won’t give me any pain meds nd i’m over here dying
Very helpful👍🏻
Thank you
my tonsillitis is wearing off (3rd day) and we still need my strep results back from a lab. Is it normal to have it wear off after 3 days.? It was extremely painful yesterday and now it only pinches. I can eat perfectly fine.
thank you
I have the viral tonsillitis came on Monday and Monday -Thursday was pure hell and agony , it’s currently Saturday (Day 6) and although it’s feeling a little better I just want it gone. It’s driving me absolutely nuts and a coworkers boyfriend had it for 3 weeks
How long does it last your tonsilitis??
Do you have cough as well???
Had tonsillitis for years it was just noted in my medical records and dr didn’t notify me or attempt to treat it for years! I ended up with stage 4 cancer of the nasalpharenex with unknown origin! I didn’t find out about the tonsillitis notes til I ordered a copy of all my medical records. My cancer was hpv 16 positive and looking back my first symptoms were deep ear pain and burning and a tonsil that felt like it was burnt by food that was too hot. No dud with a degrees would look into it deep enough and call me crazy about the horrible ear pain then 4 years later I had stage 4 cancer!
I'm so sorry 😔
That is horrible! What were your course of actions after that?
Make me anxious, I feel the same ear pain so often for the last a year, i thought it was jus fine
Praying for you bro, as I feel I'm in the same boat
How are you now?
How do you know when your tonsils removed?
You helped my daughter thank you
Currently have tonsillitis. Most painful thing I have ever experienced.
Would you consider making a video on tendonitis and tendinopathy? (As well as more orthopedic content)
Ok, I'll do it! Achilles tendinopathy video this week :D
@@ZeroToFinalsdid you do it
Dis video is great
❤too good
At this point I might addicted to painkillers! The salt water is taste awful but it helps calmed it down. It is the worst kind of pain I have ever experienced
when ever I had cold products or sweets ,next day onwards I face severe throat pain and infection this also cause due to viral infection?
3rd time having tonsillitis this year. It literally puts my life on hold! Absolutely awful:(
I have it now, absolutely awful isn't it.
Having porridge and warm tea with honey at the moment.
😢 Been sick for the third day 😭
Hello my fellow fighter 😂
It's all began with me accidentally chew my food too hard and hurt my teeth and gums.
Follows with mild symptoms of toothache and it was getting worse!
I have been begging and crying 😭😭 the pain wont go away. What sucks was my mom cooked various tasty food but I can only eat porridge while trying to understand my body better😢
Trying to see the reason for a centaur to be be pictured- half human half horse in your tonsillitis presentation. Does having tonsillitis somehow change you into a centaur? Just asking (see 3:38-3:45) . Remember to keep sexual practices clean. Your privates don't belong in certain places- down there in the front only, nothing above your neck or in backside ( which is causing anal diseases) if you get my drift. Diseases come if you dont follow what GOD designed your organs for. Diseases are now so grevious that medicines are being rendered useless because of such practices. Could be a case of monkey pox forming. Hope you recover-be careful.😢
Good
In still suffering until now it started mondat now its monday again but still i have white patches in my throat, i have no choice but to take amoxicillin because it is really hard to have an appointment by the doctor in holland, i have experience rheumatic fever, and nights sweats
Currently experiencing tonsillitis for more than 5 days. Firstly it was swollen on the left side of the lymph nodes and now it has shifted towards the right lymph nodes. Well there is a white pus visible in the infected tonsils. Hopefully the antibiotcs provided will work.
I currently have this. I can confidently say this is the worst sickness of my entire existence. I can’t wait for this torture to be over. I would not wish it on my worst enemy
how long did it last?
I had Covid four weeks ago kept a sore throat since now I have shooting joint pains a tonsil that is dripping pus and the size of a football . Got antibiotics today nastier than anything I’ve ever had
Question does tonsilitis happens if you eat some sweets?
Had tonsillitis lately as well really bad,Most of its cleared away now,Antibiotics now cleared most of it up,Wondering if any one else had Tonsillitis really bad and caused a seizure,I had that the other night at work,Any answers from any one ????
Hi doctor lm looking for are help l have are tonsils to my right side for two years

My son has tonsillitis he is taking medicine but his fever is not going down
I hate this so bad, 1 side stopped hurting but it went up to my ear so now it feels like someone is stabbing my ear drums
First time having tonsillitis and I’m panicking 😢
how long did it last?
@@VikUIProject ended up finding out it was strep throat and I’ve fully recovered! 🙌
@@VikUIProject it took at least 7 days with antibiotics
i think i have the viral one
I suffer from this yearly but no fever
The centaur with a sore throat cured me.
I had to go through surgery to take out my tonsils at 2 1/2 yrs old
The only reason I’m here is because of Tobi from The Sidemen. Never heard of tonsillitis before.
ME TOO
May I ask how post-streptococcal reactive arthritis occurs from tonsillitis? It just seems so far fetched and I’m sure it’s not common but how? Is it maybe like a metastatic cancer cell where it can travel throughout the body?
i have no idea but ive noticed my that my wrists while playing guitar hurt much more when doing stretches that i normally would be able to do just fine
I’m getting shooting pains in every joint and high temp week three now on antibiotics
@@annstubbs2256 me too! My anxiety is higher with this sickness
Had that 3 times already ;-;
Suffering with tonsillitis now, it has hit me hard, hard to describe how bad this is!
How long does it last the pain of your tonsil??
@@maddestroyer934 Depends. Most times, about less than 24 hours
@@Frille512 well that's a lie, I'm on day 4 and it's getting worse, I've also had loads of painkillers, and penicillin
@@turkishj909 that sucks
@@turkishj909how do you feel now ? I’m on day 7 of pain and I can’t eat or drink
Currently in the process of figuring out what I got. I had a sore throat which travelled down to my lungs. Had a bad cough for a few days and now it’s back in my throat. It’s been 2 weeks and im struggling.
Hey did you get a fever and chills and do you have pain or is it just swollen
@Lifeofdeyoung yea I had a fever and when I would swallow it would be very painful. I also have a small ear infection now but I would say I'm getting better.
@@travelkitty8659in pain now?!! Ear ache too, what’s helped you the most ?
@@travelkitty8659how r u now?
This can be considered as the most fucking condition which anyone could get... Im tired as fuck
Thought I had this then went to hospital and they told me I had mono
I have Tonsillitis right now it hurts so badd😢😢
Hey did you get a fever and chills and do you have pain or is it just swollen
It's my 10th timw to have tonsillitis.
I am so fed up I think I need to remove my tonsils 😢😢
I’m dealing with this now it’s day 2 or 3 real bad fever swollen tonsil and painful swallowing and body aches worst pain I’ve ever been in and currently still in 🤧😥
I’m in the same situation, it’s the body aches that are killing me
How did you guys take for body aches, I'm literally dying right now
Does it come and go. Did you get healed ?
@@priscilla-js4ue yes it may come and go what I found works for me is making sure one I’m eating a healthy diet etc more fruits and veggies also add in some probiotics foods in there and also making sure I’m doing warm salt water gargles maybe once or twice a week
@@tandazilemalghas9096 I would take 2 Tylenol 500 mg twice a day until it passed
I have this torturous things right now OMG am sick like a dog ....😢😭
Layman’s terms would be nice lol
Went to the hospital they gave me antibiotics I asked for my partonsilear abscess to be drained they didn’t I’m definitely going to a throat doctor after everything heals and removing my tonsils to stop this from happening again, worst pain ever
i have it for 5 days and i cry everyday how bad it is and i really just wanna die rn fr
oh yes,very painful,Could not even hardly swallow nothing much let alone trying to eat or drink any thing was "painful" dont even hardly ever get Tonsillitis,Let alone seizure's,Glad im eating and drinking much better now,Been at least 3 days later,Still little bit sore in my throat,Most of the swelling has gone down
My throat hurts so bad
I have pus cough and pain I guess it is viral
man I hate being sick
At least this Tonsilitis or whatever taste better than the toothache I had days before. I still cant eat tho
i’ve got tonsillitis right now, got prescribed penicillin, my tonsils look pretty disgusting (nearly entirely pus-ridden) 🤮
Hey did you get a fever and chills and do you have pain or is it just swollen
Tomorrow will be my last day of tonsillitis!😮
Hell yeah, I have it now. Really hope it doesn't last for months like I have been reading tho
I didnt know a measly virus could spread to my literal bones😂😂
I am currently suffering with this also having headache, ear pain ;, Is it curable Or not please anyone reply I'm scared very much
Have you recover?
My throat has been so sore for weeks now. Have been to the doctors 4 times for it. Each and every time, they said my tonsils were super swollen and gave me antibiotics. My tonsils are swollen and have the white stuff in the back of my throat. The only symptom I don't have is the fever. And with this new medication im on, it feels like my throat is burning. So, do I have tonsillitis?
Try to eat garlic cloves, take a lot of vitamin c, take vitamin d
How you doing now??? Any diagnostic??
No one in comment section mentioning knee pain. I own a walker way 33 years old. Wtf. And I can’t swallow unless I pinch my throat. On top of that I have post nasal drip. I’m miserable.
dog ive been absolutely terrified for like 5 days now but these videos about it have me less worried ive been sus they gonna cut em out cuz they used to do that alot
Bruh i got this, its awful plus my tonsils are terrifying me
