Tonsil and cough
I've been suffering from chronic tonsillitis since last 1 year. Had been having fever, body ache swollen tonsils if I have something cold. Got fever 4 times in last year.. The last time I had the infection a crypt sort of formed in one sid3 of the tonsils. I didn't have fever or swelling after that. But if I eat something I feel it gets stuck in the crypt and have coughing. Should I be worried abt this. Pls advice

U need to consult in person for better evaluation and treatment
If tonsills are enlarged and crypts are deep u may require surgery to remove them.
Try betadine gargles twice daily for few days

Firstly Dr cannot advice you to be worried.
To avoid confusions take in person consultation with ENT specialist. If tonislls are enlarged and u are getting frequent infections u may be needing surgery for Tonsills. Altho presence of crypts is not an issue at all.
