Lingual Tonsil Infection
Posted: 12-06-04 08:16am

I have chronically infected lingual tonsils. (located behind the base of the tongue) after every round of augmentin, the infection flares back up. I've had allergy testing, ct scans and been treated for thrush. To say that I have a sore throat is a huge understatement. It is horrible. The ent talks of having my lingual tonsils removed. Has anyone else had this surgery? My family doctor said not to have this surgery, but he isn't living with my sore throat!
