Swollen Tonsils, Uvula And Canker Sores In Mouth. Could This Be Due To Inhaling Nitrous Oxide, Taking MDMA Orally ?
I have recently been inhaling nitrous oxide, taking mdma orally, drinking and smoking a lot - whether or not this is related to my illness I think you should know . I have swollen tonsils, uvulla and what appear to be canker sores on my lips mouth and similar spots on the tonsils, my Doctor told me on Wednesday that it was tonsillitis but the symptoms are worsening. Do you have any advice for what I should do for pain relief as gargling with salt water only worsens the situation. Thank you so much,
Iarla

hello. well for first.. you must stop all the smoking!. you can gargle with hexidine mouth wash, three times a day and can take tab paracetamol 500 mg for pain. you should also ask your doctor to consider starting antibiotics for your tonsillitis. avoid hot and spicy food.. that will help. thanks
