Are inflamed tonsils & uvula an EIM?

Are inflamed tonsils & uvula an EIM? Are swollen lymph nodes in the neck also an EIM?

I get inflammation of the tonsils and uvual frequently. I also have difficulty swallowing food or pills during the inflammation period. The swelling in my lymph nodes goes up and down. Sometimes the swelling of the lymph nodes is so big that I can't turn my head. Food from either GERD or eating sometimes gets caught on my tonsils.

Hello and sorry for the delayed response.

Have you had a chance to read up on the side effects of your medications you take? it is possible that they could be a side effect. Talk to your doctor about it.

In addition, you can look up medications and there side effects here: http://www.drugs.com/sfx/

Hope you are feeling some relief from the symptoms at this point :hug:

Nope, meds not causing the issues. No relief yet. Just started Amoxicillin yesterday in hopes of getting the inflammation down so I can swallow the huge pill Rifaman once the Amoxicillin is finished.
