What can be the reason for tonsil swelling, a giant lump on the side of the uvula, and difficulty swallowing?

Question

Hi doctor,

For over two months, my throat will swell for a few hours and then go back down. This happens at least once a week. But not three days in a row has happened. When it is swollen, it gets sore. When it goes away, I have no symptoms at all. Instead, my tonsils swell up and get red, and I get a giant lump on the side of my uvula, making it hard to swallow, and sometimes my chest also hurts. Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. This is pharyngeal inflammation with uvulitis. First, you have to stop smoking. Then, You should start an antibiotic, Floxamo (Amoxicillin trihydrate and Flucloxacillin sodium monohydrate) 1 gram every 12 hours for one week, plus an anti-inflammatory as Brufen 200 mg twice daily for one week. On the follow-up, I want to know if you have gastritis or heartburn. Thanks.

Hi,

I understand your concern. It would help if you take antacids such as Zantac tablets three times before meals as you suffer from gastritis which produces pain between your breasts. In addition, if you have a night fever, we need a Widal test to exclude typhoid infection. Thanks.
