As you know i have tonsillitis but who else on here has had it?
Has anyone had all these symptoms: feeling very tired, feeling sick all the time, stomach ache, difficulty swallowing, feeling of a big lump stuck in the throat etc.
At first i wasn't convinced that this choking feeling was caused by this, i thought that i actually had something stuck but it is probably the tonsillitis as it looks really bad as you can see from the pictures but i didn't think it would make me feel like i want to be sick all the time and feel so weak and tired.

The doctor would probably advise you to stop sticking a camera down your throat!
it doesnt look like tonsilitis when i had it there where white lumps all over the back of my throat..not pretty!!
If the tonsillitis is caused by a viral infection they just go red and swollen, if it's caused by a bacterial infection then they will have white patches on the tonsils.
When my daughter has tonsilitus her throat closed to about the size of the tip of her little finger and it was all covered in grey fur and the stench was appalling
I'm sorry I can't bare to look at the pictures. I suffered from tonsilitus for years until I had them removed. It never just hurt my throat it was my whole body that ached and I had all the same symptoms as you had.
I still managed to pick up tonsilitus last year after they had been removed, just when I thought I'd be ok (Still it wasn't as bad without tonsils!)
that is sooooooo not nice!!!!!!! I had septic tonsilitis once and the pain was unbearable, and I had yellow tonsils too, I never even dreamed of takinf photos though, that is ...........uergh!!!
Actually,,, they dont take tonsils out these days do they? I was told they never take them out nowadays.
They do you know!! My little lad has his took out last year, both tonsils and adenoids. It was to cure a constant cough, which a few doctors said was asthma. It wasn't asthma though, because he has stopped coughing. Not a nice thing to have done though, poor little sod had post op infection too, so was quite poorly. Still, he's alreight now
i just wanted some opinions and whether it looks as bad as it feels.
