Anthony asked in HealthMen's Health · 10 years ago

will my tonsils be okay if left untreated?

okay i am scared, i dont have health insurence because i have been liveing off my moms work health insurence and i just got out of highschool, and now my left tonsil is swelling up, i wont get that health insurence till i go into college, which is in about 4 months. So if i dont treat it soon what could happen to me, and if i keep this up to long will it get infected and kill me or something worse, i am really scared and i need a serious answer, if i have to wait till 4 months and it will get infected i just might feel safer cutting it out my self, jk but humor eases me into things.

Update:

oh and is there any way that can help me till i can actually get them out, even some tonsil effecting pain killers might help,

    Don't left it untreated, everything gets worse when left untreated. I strongly suggest telling a family doctor.
