Why isn’t ibuprofen helping my tonsillitis?
Treating a Sore Throat – If you have a sore throat, it’s probably because of an infection or irritation to the delicate tissue in your throat. You might notice sore throat symptoms such as:
Pain or a scratchy sensation Pain that increases with swallowing or talking Difficulty swallowing Swollen or sore glands Red, inflamed tonsils White patches on your tonsils A hoarse voice
If the pain of a sore throat is bothering you, you can take OTC pain relievers or NSAIDs to relieve the discomfort. They will reduce pain and make it easier to talk and swallow. Pain relievers won’t fix the underlying cause of a sore throat. Sore throats are typical symptoms of an infection, and drugs like acetaminophen, naproxen, aspirin, and ibuprofen can’t treat infections.
How can I shrink my tonsils?
How does Dr. Volpi perform a laser tonsil ablation? – During a regular tonsillectomy, a scalpel or other tool is used to completely remove the tonsils. During a laser tonsil ablation, laser energy is used to reduce the tonsils as much as possible by vaporizing the outer surface of the tonsils.
The goal is to shrink the tonsils, and laser ablation does this. This can result in a significant difference in the amount of obstruction the tonsils may be causing. Plus, the laser energy can also be used to remove infection. Because there aren’t any incisions that need to heal, recovery after laser tonsil ablation is quite different than from an adult tonsillectomy.
These are minimally invasive procedures, rather than full surgery. Recovery time is dramatically different with most patients back to eating normal food in just a day or two.
Can tonsils heal without medicine?
For tonsillitis caused by a viral infection, antibiotics are not recommended, says Dr. Clark. ‘The infection would typically resolve itself within five to seven days without any intervention,’ he says.
How long should tonsil pain last?
What can I expect if I have tonsillitis? – Most cases of viral tonsillitis clear up in a few days with fluids and plenty of rest. Antibiotics usually eliminate bacterial tonsillitis (strep throat) in about 10 days. Tonsillitis usually doesn’t cause any serious or lasting health problems.
