What Causes Swollen Glands In Tongue And Fatigue When With Tonsillitis?

My daughter has fever, swollen glands in throat and over her body, dark urine, abdominal pain and nausea, fatigue, bad headaches, and itchy skin. She keeps getting tonsilitus that does not go away with antibiotics. They don t want to remove her tonsils. Why, I don t understand. She recently had her wisdom teeth cut out. They told her this may help with her reoccuring tonsilitis . Now she is sick with all these symptoms. Please any advice???

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having symptoms of swollen glands in tongue and fatigue when with tonsillitis which seems to be due to chronic tonsillitis. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to do betadine gargles after every three hours to relieve pain in throat. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity by brushing, flossing and antibiotic mouthwash daily. Take antibiotic Azithromycin along with multivitamin and take paracetamol combination for relief of symptoms of fever. If your symptoms keeps on persisting even after 1 week then visit ENT specialist once to get it checked properly and take proper prescription for your condition. 3 months or more persistence of tonsillitis with repeated infections , should be managed with tonsillectomy. You can go for biopsy of lesion as well to rule out condition such as cancer. Keep chewing basil leaves and ginger in small quantity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
