14. Swollen Tonsils: Candida’s Reach Beyond the Mouth
Swollen tonsils might be commonly associated with conditions like tonsillitis, but they can also be a manifestation of oral thrush. When Candida becomes invasive, it can spread beyond the mouth, affecting the tonsils and causing inflammation and swelling.
Swollen tonsils can be a source of significant discomfort. Swallowing becomes painful, and the voice might become hoarse or muffled. Additionally, if the tonsils become too enlarged, it might even lead to breathing difficulties, amplifying the concern.
Recognizing the potential link between swollen tonsils and oral thrush can be instrumental in ensuring timely treatment. It emphasizes the importance of not viewing symptoms in isolation but understanding them as part of a broader health narrative.(14)
