What Causes Chronic Tonsillitis Post Unprotected Sex?

Hi,
I'm a 21yo girl. I have the bar in my arm so essentially had unprotected sex with a guy (not a random guy) last October and a few days later got a bad case of toncillitis. I went to the doctor and got antibiotics for it. Then last Tuesday, same thing and by Friday had toncillitis again. I haven't gone to the doctor this time but I'm concerned that it's related somehow. I'm worried about stds, gonorrhea? Do I have it? Or did I get it from the guy in October? And have I given it to my friend last Tuesday? Or is it just coincidence?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that Tonsillitis that you are suffering from does not seems to be due to any sexually transmitted diseases and seems to be due to common bacterial throat infection..
It can occur 2 to 3 times in an year and is not an abnormal thing..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and investigations like Throat swab culture can help in diagnosis..
You can be advised another course of antibiotics like Augmentin or Azithromycin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles and steam inhalation.
You can suck throat lozenges and chew a Vitamin C pellet.
Drink plenty of water preferably warm..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods and take a soft bland diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
