Brief Answer: Consult ENT surgeon. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXX, Thanks for your follow up query. * There are various causes of right sided chest pain. Considering ,your problem of digestion at present, the most likely in your case seem to be Gastritis ,some problem with gall bladder or liver,Gastro esophageal reflux disease. The gastro enterologist you are going to consult will definitely consider there possibility. Please do mention this complaint to him when you see him. * The tonsillar problem can be-acute, recurring, chronic or Peritonsiller abscess. Out of these the description you have made resembles with - Either acute tonsillitis with involvement of adenoid or, - Peritonsillar abscess (One sided tonsil being enlarged. with lumps at its back, Feeling of something being stuck in throat) . However it's difficult to guess exactly, as you have not mentioned about other symptoms you have- like pain, difficulty in swallowing, fever etc... * Acute tonsillitis is mostly infective in nature. Viral tonsillitis heals by simple treatments of anti inflammatory drugs, anti allergic pills, hot saline gargles. * Peritonsillar abscess, is collection of pus in tonsils, it needs earliest treatment. You do need an immediate consultation of an ENT specialist for diagnosis & treatment. Some investigations like blood check up, throat swab test may be asked. Treatment mostly is by antibiotics, anti inflammatory drugs. Patient is closely observed till cured. Some times drainage of abscess is required. You seem to be too much stressed. Please don't worry, both the problems you ask for, are treatable. Cheer up! Wish you a quick recovery! Hope, I have answered to satisfy you. Any other query is welcome. Thanks.

Brief Answer: Consult ENT surgeon immediately. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXX, Thanks for the question. The information now given clears the entire picture. Your first symptom was infective tonsillitis ( due to staphylococci) 7 months back .You were treated for it twice ,still it was not under control,& you landed in tensile stones.( roughly after 5-6 months. Meaning, though you were symptomless all these days (tonsillar stones can remain symptomless in beginning), the process went on & now you have the inflamed & enlarged tonsil, that is bugging you. In this light, one can not deny the possibility of the root of your digestive problem also being the tonsillar infection itself. The infection/bacterias being carried down with food. Now about your present problem- The swelling of the tonsil you have may be- - Tonsillar & palatal adenoid inflammation due to staphylococcal infection & the bacterias, dead cells & mucus forming debris on right side & giving all the symptoms. -The tonsillar stone & staphylococcal infection together have lead to an abscess & pus collection in space surrounding the tonsil. (Peritonsillar abscess) I would advise you to consult an ENT surgeon the earliest. After investigations (to which I would add possibility of CT scan) doctor will advice you about treatment plan. The treatment can range from medicines (By antibiotics to which the bacteria are sensitive) & other drugs, removal of tonsillar stone, drainage of abscess, tonsillectomy. In the end I would advise you for a quick action under an expert ENT surgeon's guidance. It’s always better to be careful & tension free. I hope that makes the picture clear. Any further query is welcome. Thanks.
