Hello Doctor,
I’ve been experiencing tonsil pain on the left side whenever I swallow or yawn. I tested negative for strep throat (both rapid test and culture) and also tested negative for RSV, the flu, COVID, and mono. I even did a full STI panel, and everything came back negative. Recently, I had a vaginal yeast infection, but now my tonsils are swollen. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on your symptoms, it could be helpful to conduct a throat or blood culture to get a more accurate diagnosis. This will help rule out any underlying infection or other possible causes. In the meantime, be sure to stay hydrated and rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please don’t hesitate to follow up with us. Thank you, and stay safe.
Thanks
