Tonsils are inflammed and red and touchi

2017-07-26 11:18:47
I have had inflammed tonsils for over three days now. They are so inflammed and red they are touching. I have tried cold/hot compresses and tea. I have had this problem since I was 13 but no one would take them out and told me it was a sinus problem.

If you are saying both tonsils are touching each other, you may need tonsillectomy. But,as the doctors said the primary cause may be Sinusitis.
Next Steps
Follow your doctor's advice.
