Hello. I hope someone can help me out with this.
Well, I have a sore throat, but the pain is on the left side of my throat ONLY. And through the days it just kinda gets worse. Through the day, I would be hurting in the morning/afternoon, then I would feel better (at night). And the next day, I would be in as much pain as I was the day before. It started on Monday, and here it is, on Thursday.
I have no other symptoms of some sort, except it hurts pretty bad when I swallow, and sometimes I feel my ear kind of aching (me + ear aches = NOT a good mixture).
No headaches, no fever. That's pretty much it.
Someone. I can't stand this pain much longer. Can someone help?
I've tried warm salt water gargles, cough-drops... & it doesn't help.
Could it be my tonsils?

I would say you have a throat infection and not tonsilities as you have no fever, aches and pains and nausea.
The ear aches are because the ecastian tubes are connected to your throat so sore throat, aching ears.
Your tonsils are lymph node (infection preventers and storers) so if you get a slight infection in your throat it will kill. Pain wise.
The only treatment is going to the Doctor for a course of anti-biotics.
Salt gargles and a numbing throat spray. Or even a Betadine gargle will all help, but not cure, until you get to the Doctor.
getting some antiseptic, with local antiseptic in them, throat lozenges from the chemist will help numb the pain so you can sleep at night.
But off to the Doctor.

Know the asteroid wellhead tonsil stones them for many years and it's been title not eventually.
Best decision I've ever made! I was shocked by the way of getting out the stones out. It was so easy, but more importantly, painless. I really liked the little trick he had for preventing gag reflex. He have one happy customer here.

its definitely ur tonsils,how old are u?? if less than say 10 its ok for u to have such bad tonsillitis but more then if u are more than 10 n get 5 or more attacks over 3 yrs or more than 2 attacks a year consider tonsillectomy. for u gotta take steam for ur ear problem wich goes thru throat.take some decongestant drops if u r nose is stuffy,n gargles not working u shd think of taking an antibiotic like azithromycin dose depends on ur age.adult dose 1gram once a day for 3 days.continue with salty gargles n steam thrice a day.

You have an infection in your tonsils, the longer you wait to go to the doctor, the worse the infection will get. If you wait long enough you may even need hospital treatment. Make an emergency appointment with your doctor because you need antibiotics as soon as possible.

Yep, sounds like tonsilitis. I had it not very long ago, and it was the same as you, only felt extreme pain on 1 side of my throat. But anyway, I suggest you see a doctor. They'll give you some anti-biotics and it'll be gone in a couple days.

yes, it could be your tonsils. It sounds like you have a mild infection that could get worse. You need to see your medical doctor as soon as possible. Once the infection starts going into your ear you are going to feel much worse.
