What Is an Enlarged / Inflamed Tonsil Consultation?

A consultation for enlarged or inflamed tonsils evaluates throat pain, swelling, difficulty swallowing, fever, and other related symptoms. Providers determine if treatment or further diagnostic testing is needed.

What We Review During Your Consultation:
  • Symptom history and duration
  • Recent infections or exposures
  • Fever, redness, pus, or swelling
  • Prior medical history or recurring tonsil issues
  • Need for lab testing, imaging, or antibiotics
  • Guidance for home care and follow-up

Why Early Tonsil Evaluation Matters

Mobile evaluations allow prompt assessment and reduce unnecessary clinic visits. UrgentCare2Go® providers help identify infections early and advise on safe next steps.

  • Identify bacterial or viral tonsil infections
  • Determine the need for antibiotics or supportive care
  • Provide home care instructions and symptom monitoring
  • Coordinate referrals to ENT specialists if necessary
