Recently the "pocket" on the left tonsil has a stretched/elongated appearance and the one on the right has also started to increase in size. I have noticed in the right tonsil a rather small tonsil stone that I have not been able to extract, but It's not the cause of my concern. I also have a very mild sore throat and thanks to ACV and Ceyenne pepper it is tollerable. If I had to put a length of time, I have noticed this condition maybe a month ago. I have tried the coconut oil pooling to help shrink the size of the tonsils but to no avail. I had suspected maybe a mild case of strep and used ceyenne pepper for injesting and gargles and still no change in size or mild pain. I even considered the possibility of Tonsillitis (as far as I can tell Strep and Tonsillitis are almost identical in symptons and sometimes appearance), so I tried the coconut oil treatment, no change, other than releif of the mild pain from the swelling. My tonsils have swollen to the point where it does get difficult to open my mouth wide as my back teeth are nearly buried! Which makes me think, possibly the gums themselves are swollen causing the Tonsils to do there job and filter out bacteria. My question: I had a tooth break off about a year ago. Since then the gum has grown over top of it. Is it possible this tooth is the cause of my symptons? I have no pain in the area that the tooth is, no swelling of the gum, no visible discharges of any kind, but there is an odor present. Common sense would lead me to think that my tooth is the cause of all this chaos going on with my tonsils and mild sore throat, I just want some sort of direction on how to proceed with my problem. I have no fever, I do have a mild problem with the ears (like they make a swishing sound if I move my head suddenly-like there is fluid inside). Lymph glands in neck below jaw line are swollen but to a degree that alarms me. So that pretty much sums it up! I love the website and have used it quite a bit and have also told others about it! So very happy that you all are here!!!!

Hello everyone. Since I was a little child I suffered from Tonsillitis and am now past my sixties. People have made fun of my breath and have said some really mean things like fart mouth and other kind phrases like that. I understand now that my breath has been like that because of the Tonsilloliths (white stones) No wonder my boyfriends didn't want to kiss me! ): I have been told by doctors that I cannot have a tonsillectomy because of my age and severe bleeding that could kill me. Anyway about 8 days ago I woke up in the morning with my tongue, the left side of my face and throat swollen. I could see the Tonsils inflamed and the pain was excruciating I've never had it that bad before. I quickly started on my remedies. Made a strong tea of garlic and honey. It helped some but I woke up about an hour later and in even more pain. My throat was so swollen I looked like a bullfrog only to match that swamp breath! How lovely! Well I became desperate and took an empty 2 oz brown bottle that had a 3 inch dropper in it. I took that dropper and filled it with, 3% hydrogen peroxide and did not mix it with water even though my inner voice was warning me and shot it straight down my tonsil opening to finally heal myself! I figured it would clean it out and stop that pain. WRONG!! I didn't feel any fizzing or anything so figured it hadn't helped me any. I woke up about an hour later and was in the worst pain of my life plus a headache and could not swallow very well and could not lay back because I felt as though I was choking. I figured I better go to the hospital and they made me wait even though I was dying!! They gave me an antibiotic and a shot to bring down the swelling. The nurse said, "you can't leave yet we have to make sure you'll be alright. I didn't mention a word to the doctor about what I had done. For fear that they would do worse than what I had done. I started to hyperventiliate because I was afraid that that shot would make things worse. They made me stay a little longer and then let me go. I kept checking on my Tonsil and saw that there was no opening!! Oh no I thought I must have burned it out!!! After a few days I noticed I could not bend over or my tonsil would hurt so bad my head hurt and could not swallow or lay down I had to sleep sitting straight up. I kept putting ice packs on my throat and it helped a little. It felt as though my throat wanted to close up on me. Everyone in my family told me I was crazy for doing it. Now 8 days later the Tonsil looks like a big exclamation mark (! ) I will see if it stays like that but I think it's gone. What finally helped the pain to go away was 1 tsp ACV, 1 tsp honey and a little liquid cayenne (only 2 drops! ). I am praying that the one tonsil is gone but hoping I will be alright. I feel pretty good now but would I do it to the other one? HELL NO!!! By the way the doctor said I needed a Tonsillectomy. If I had listened to him I'd be writing you from my grave! It's very good to be alive!!! P.S. I will give you an update if anything good or bad happens because of it! REMEMBER SOMETIMES A LITTLE IS BETTER!!! Happiness and health to all.

I have a daughter was recently sick in bed for a week with sore throat / tonsils, glands up & flu like syptoms. Two weeks on although she is feeling somewhat better her tonsils are still huge (to the point where it's actually effecting her breathing) & glands in her neck (one side in particular) are still swollen. Oil pulling with coconut oil helped initally but has not got rid of the problem all together. She also takes 1 teaspoon of ACV with lemon juice & vit C daily.... does anyone have anyother ideas on what to try... Thanks Heaps, Lynley " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/tonsils.html&name=RN_45595 /CURES/tonsils.rss5 Mon, 30 Aug 10 11:05:37 -0500 Jason from Glen Allan, Va writes: "I submitted a request for help for my friend with enlarged tonsils -adult male - tonsils not inflamed - I cannot find the request or answers on earthclinic." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/tonsils.html&name=RN_45354 /CURES/tonsils.rss6 Mon, 23 Aug 10 11:50:33 -0500 Jason from Glen Allan, Va, Usa writes: "Request insights and experience on natural approaches to dealing very enlarged tonsils, not inflamed, of adult Filipino (33).

Unbelievable, but true. Just let a knob of it melt in your mouth, tilt your chin up and let it pool toward that back of your mouth/throat. Hold it there for as long as you can. Repeat several times a day. It works much faster than the nasty antibiotics usually prescribed, and provides some temporary pain relief in the mean time. I usually get tonsillitis when I'm run down, so as soon as I notice that first sign of white in the back of my throat, I start this treatment, and it clears up within 24 hours. EVCO is amazing stuff!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/tonsils.html&name=RN_37438 /CURES/tonsils.rss8 Thu, 14 Jan 10 11:38:46 -0600 [QUESTION] April from Rogers, Ar writes: "Pain after tonsillectomy Hi, I do not have a remedy but a question.

Can anyone offer advice to speed up the healing and reduce her pain level. Please don't say ice, because it so painful that she can't hardly swallow the water when the ice melts.

I rarely ever get sick and if I do, I usually drink a little apple cider vinegar with honey for a day or two and it's gone! But, this cold was all in my nose and throat. No fever, no sneazing, no chills! I took everything! Vitamins, applecider vinegar with honey, Tomatoe tea, vinegar, honey,salt and lemon tea, and I even gargled daily. Well, it seemed that it was all fom my sinuses and it was draining down my throat,I started getting an ear infection and then it hit my tonsil! It seemed inflamed and that was when I took out the bottle of apple cider vinegar. I poured about 1/4 of a small glass full and then gargled it straight! Voila! No more tonsil pain, no more cough and my voice returned to normal. Those germs ran away!

I have tried prescribed antibiotics with no effect. However, after reading about garlic on this website, I gave it a shot and I was totally amazed at how fast I recover. There is a dramatic difference the following day after I take a clove of garlic soup before going to bed and I make total recovery within 3 days. With prescription antibiotics, it used to take about 1 week, including gargling every couple of hours. Even when I am ok, I take garlic soup about 2 times a week, and this is the first time ever that I have gone through winter without getting a cold!! I peel a clove of garlic and cut them in half lengthwise. Then I boil it for a couple of minutes in 1.5 cup water and add a pinch of salt, teaspoon of butter, a pinch of pepper and sprinkle with nutmeg. I take is as a soup as the garlic is soft enough to be eaten. Works wonders for me."
