I have a hard time sleeping & half-wake frequently, so I am constantly TIRED. It hurts to take my daily medicine & sometimes, I cannot swallow at all. It's a very uncomfortable feeling 24/7, but the extreme comes maybe one-quarter of that time.??? My tonsils were HUGE this morning and I couldn't breathe easily ~ but as hours are passing, the swelling is going back down.

Has anyone experienced this, and know what I'm talking about??

I think you need to see a doctor about it. It could be allergies or an infection but no matter what it is if it is affecting your breathing you should get it checked!

I did send an e-mail to my doctor about it. I guess that we'll see what she wants to do. Thank you jelly-bean!

These tips might help in the meantime to soothe and help minimize the inflammation to keep the swelling down, especially the first one, gargling with warm salt water:

Tonsillitis-Home Treatment

I hope you find some answers and help soon with your doc.

I feel for you. Was ironically talking at work, about having my tonsils removed as an adult. I was sick because of them, for a year. Wish I had advice, can only offer sympathy.
