seem to have a acute sore throat pretty often.
i talked to my Ear nose & throat doctor and he said that he would take my tonsils out for me or he could put my on a long regimen of antibiotics. I wasn’t thrilled with the idea so i said i would think about it.
I was reading about how your tonsils and ears are connected, and im starting to reconsider having them out.
Every time i chew gum it feels like i have fluid in my ear, also i feel like i don’t hear as well as i should…..Im 16.
Could this all be connected?
and if i get them out does your hearing increase and will it most likely fix the fluid in ear problem?

also im a singer…….it wont change my voice right?

With tonsil stones, people have said they haven’t experienced much pain, which my boyfriend seems to have. And he hasn’t been coughing up anything or getting food lodged in the hole.

Only the one tonsil swelled up, and then just today he realized the hole.

So far the only thing I’ve read that didn’t suggest tonsil stones was a forum on which a woman described how her tonsil cancer appeared first as a hole in her tonsil that all her doctors for the first 12 months told her was just a blister.

I doubt he has cancer, but we really would like to know what’s going on, and whether it will go away or if he needs to get it checked out.

Oh, and btw, he turned 19 last month and is now off of his father’s health insurance. So….X(
