Sore throat right side and enlarged right lingual tonsil for a year

I have a similar problem. I had my second tonsillectomy in October 2015, yes my palatine tonsils grew back after the first one, plus I had an abscess in my right tonsil. Ever since surgery my lingual tonsils swell up and cause me a lot of pain and discomfort. They are very swollen right now and I feel like there's a big lump in the back middle portion of my tongue. My ENT did a scope two days ago and said my lingual tonsils are very prominent, but everything else looks fine and it might be tonsillitis so he prescribed me an antibiotic. It has been almost two years since my surgery and I have had nothing but problems with my lingual tonsils now. I have been told it's acid reflux and allergies as well. So I take nexium when I have flares and started allergy drops. Has anyone here had their lingual tonsils removed? I hate feeling the lump behind my tongue and feeling like I'm being choked. It's a very scary feeling and I also feel alone. 

Hello to all, I just registered on here after reading alot of people suffering with lingual tonsils. My son 28 yrs has had this for over a year. He could not chew food property and swallow and his neck swelled. They did have to remove a salivary stone that was deep, therefore he had to go into hospital for surgery. He also has a swollen lingual tonsil. He did have a biopsy and tonsil was benign, so happy for that. He has been to several ents, which say from acid reflux. Has been taking meds for year and still has problems. He can only eat certain foods, no meats at all. He chokes alot and seems to speak differernt at times. He has been also to a throat specialist in Baltimore and same. Went to a gasteologist for upper gi and his dentist.

He has spent thousands for his deductible is so high. He is frustrated and doesn't know what else to do. Anyone who has any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I'm a 32 year old female.. my problem started about 10 months ago, I started experiencing a sharp pain in my right tonsil or right side of my throats which would come on once or twice a week.. i had an endoscopy done in October last year which showed I had gastritis and a hiatel hernia so I was given  pantazol for the acid reflux. In December I had a really bad viral cold that went on for about 6 weeks which made the right side sharp pain worse, I would get sharp pain a couple of times a day.. in march this year the pains got a little worse with a tender feeling under my right jaw aswell which I thought was swelling of the lymph node.. I also had jaw pain and pain in my gums and right sided throat pain.. I went to the doctors to which they prescribed antibiotics for a throat infection based on my symptoms.. which didn't help, the swelling under my jaw did go but came back. Then I went to the dentist and she said I have gum infection so I was prescribed more antibiotics.. that helped my gums but the right sided throat n tonsil pain was still there. Again one night I felt the pain was really bad so ended up at emergency room to again I was given antibiotic for a throat infection.. again it helped for a day or two but the right sided pain in the throat and tonsil with swelling under jaw came back.. I had bloods done which apparantly showed my thyroid levels a little high so I had an ultrasound on my thyroid which showed inflamed thyroid plus Iv seen the ENT who sent me for a Ct scan on my neck and all that showed was that my lymph node on the right side is inflamed.. im still feeling this right sided tonsil and throat pain with swelling under my right jaw and I get really bad neck pain on the right side too which feels muscular. Iv also looked down my throats and see some white stuff inside the skin of my tonsil if that makes sense?! What is that?!! This is on the left side aswell! Im also getting right sided shoulder pain too, I have no idea if this related or just from stress or what! Iv had a scope done through my nose to see my throats and they've said everything looks fine. I don't get it. I don't know if it's related to the inflamed thyroid? Or if it's a case of tonsillitis or what. I have an  appointment with the ENT in 2 weeks and also the endocriniologist.
