Urgent ENT Assistance
I fear my ENT problem is well beyond tonsillitis. I have a swelling inside my mouth and gums only on the left hand side. My ear, nose and throat on the left hand side have a major imbalance with regards to pain and sensitivity. The right hand side seems unaffected whereas the left seems ruptured completely.
I need guidance / consultation in who to visit as a ENT specialist in South Bombay preferably also treating at Bhatia Hospital ( due to health insurance constraints) I fear I might require multiple surgeries immediately.
Looking forward to hearing back from you soon. Thank you for taking your time in reading this message.

You seem to be suffering from chronic tonsillitis which is a common problem presenting with recurrent attacks of throat pain. The picture you have sent shows enlarged tonsils which is not really abnormal and sometimes there can difference in sizes of tonsils on each side. I don't think this problem has got anything to do with weakness of limb on left side. If your tonsillitis is troubling you a lot then you can undergo tonsillectomy surgery. After surgery you may not find any difference in other problems such as imbalance and limb weakness
