After a tonsilectomy, can acid reflux slow healing in the throat?

I would think not. The acid reflux is usually further down. Unless of course you are prone to vurps......... vomit induced burps....

my husband had acid reflux...tried the diets, tried the nexium, the prevacid, etcetera, nothing helped. now his acid reflux has turned into a hiatal hernia, and hes having surgery in April to correct the problem.

If your doctor doesn't take you seriously, LEAVE HIM! A doctor should take his/her patient seriously at all times. The polyps probably did go away, but what you are describing at the lower end is hemorrhoids. As for the acid reflux, try Maalox or get a prescription for Nexium. Do switch doctors at all costs!!

What is it you are eating? IS it maybe , rice or somthing else stickly or soft like bread, etc?  Your esophogus my be narrowing, I had to have a tube put down my throat so have it stretched out, I think this happended due to reflux (acid indigestion)  It was alway rice that stuck, if you feel it happening, stop eating and wait for the food to go down, it will just start backing up in your throat if you don't/

See a doctor before doing anything. Here is one idea:\n\n\nTreating acid reflux first involves medication.  Over the counter medications such as: antacids, Zantac, and Pepcid can ease the heartburn symptoms and provide temporary relief.  Prescription medications are usually the best option because they can also help your esophagus heal.  These are called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PIP).  They work to stop some of the digestive acid from being produced to stop acid reflux and give your esophagus a chance to heal.  Some of these medications are:  Prevacid, Nexium, and Prilosec.

I had my tonsils taken out and my voice was the same after like three days. So i do not think it will ruin your singing voice at all.

Its a misnomer. Many different things can lead to peptic acidosis. Upset from stress, bad diet (usualy the culprit) Its kind of like a cold-it wil go away in most cases and is VERY treatable. Commonly a low ph, again, from a poor diet can cause it. In rare cases a malfunctioning cardiac valve (not the heart but the location) cause whats called "reflux disease" or heartburn. \n   As for the bacterial cause-Ive never seen a bacterial infection that couldnt be wiped out with oregano oil!\n\n   As for "esophageal ulceritis" or esophageal lesions from reflux, the cure is simple: aloe vera gel. Works like a charm, and it even heals the lesions.\n\n   Its basically a label not a diagnosis-yes! They made it up!!! When a symptom aquires the "disease" label it becomes something treatable with expensive therapy or drugs--couldnt we all use more drugs in the world?  :D

I was constantly in the doctor's for my tonsils. I had strep throat at least 4 or 5 times a year. After years of this I finally ended up in the hospital for a few days after developing sacs of puss called abscesses. It was NASTY. A month later I got them removed. I haven't had any problems since. I would definitely go to your doctor and at least have him/her look at them. It might be nothing, but you don't want it to become something real serious either. Good luck.

It sounds like the Prilosec isn't working, since a lump in the throat is actually a sign of acid reflux.  \n\nIn addition to the Prilosec, you need to be aware of the GERD triggers -- carbonated drinks, caffeine. sorbitol (aka, avoid sugarfee gum), etc.  I am on another GERD medication and have had to completely cut those elements from my life so I can function without continual throat clearing. I feel for you -- the lump in the throat issue is annoying, distracting, and somewhat depressing, since you are on a med which SHOULD be taking care of it.\n\nTalk to your doctor -- good luck!

Tonsils are glands in your throat. If you have not had a surgery to remove them, then you have them\n\nAre you thinking about tonsilitis? Tonsilitis is the inflammation of the tonsils. You get a very sore throat, and fever. You may feel like you have something in  your throat.\n\nIf someone looks down your throat with a light they can see them swollen into your throat.\n\nIf you think you may have it, you should see the doctor. You will probably need to be put on antibiotic. Doctors are not so quick to remove tonsils these days unless the become infected frequently.\n\nIf you are concerned with bad breath, there are different causes. Are you brushing your teeth regularly? Brushing the back of your throat? using antiseptic mouth wash?\n\nIf you are and the bad breath continues, see your phycian.

When tonsils are removed (this is done in a procedure called a tonsillectomy), most of the tonsils are taken out. However, some may appear to grow back, although they probably won't grow back completely or to their original size.

First, tonsils are not pulled, they are cut out.  Teeth are pulled.\n\nTonsils can be enlarged to the point where they obstruct your airway.  You may have tiredness during the day from waking up hundreds of times during the night (obstructive sleep apnea).  Tonsils can also become repeatedly infected.  You would recognize this by a recurrent sore throat.\n\nTonsils are easy to see.  Your doctor does not have to guess.  He can just look at them.

Tonsils are the once to help your body release different types of enzymes and harmones which will act as the first aid or the first battle against any harmful bacteria or virus that get into your body. \nLike when you catch cold, or trying to fight fever etc. \nIf I were you, i would get it treated instead of getting them removed unless if they are often bothering you. If taken out they are not much of a hassel, but i would get them removed only if that was the last resolution

my mother is the same way. she constantly has strep. she is older, so tonsil surgury is dangerous and she doesn't want to have it.  Her doctor said if you have strep over 3 times in 3 years, you should have them removed.  My step-dad has his removed for the same problem, and one tonsil actually grew back!!! ugh!  I've had strep, and I feel your pain!!! I hope you find something that works soon!\n... i don't recommend trying this without asking your doctor:::: but, the last time I had strept, I did not go to the doctor. I decided to let it ride out it's course.  I got very sick, and it took longer to go away, but it eventually did, and I haven't had it since (2 years ago).   if that built up my immunity, I don't know.  but it's a thought.   HOWEVER, that said, my body had no energy to fight off anything after the strept and I got an extremely painful canker sore (couldn't open my mouth at all), and I broke out in hives.  So there's definitely a price to pay!! \ngood luck!

If you still have your tonsils I think that is normal.  I used to get those all the time when I was little, along with a sore throat.  They are ulcers.  Gargle with peroxide, and they disappear in about a week.
