Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I’ve been experiencing a persistent cough, and it feels like there’s a tickling sensation in my tonsils. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Based on your symptoms, it’s possible that you’re experiencing tonsillitis, which is an inflammation of the tonsils. This condition can cause a sore throat, coughing, and a tickling sensation. Tonsillitis is often caused by viral or bacterial infections.

If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be a good idea to see a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and possible treatment, which may include antibiotics if it’s bacterial.

 

Thanks
