This morning i woke up with swollen tonsils now its gone and there fine now what can cause this???

Question

it took about 4 hours for them to heal

Answer 1

swollen tonsils? you had a sore throat. when you sleep with your mouth open, you're breathing deeply for a long period of time. the wind hits your throat repeatedly which results in a sore throat. it wares away throughout the day. i get it all the time (:

Answer 2

probably sinus drainage during the night...especially if you snored or slept with your mouth open prolly made it worse

Answer 3

Tonsilitis. It will come and go, if and until it gets chronic enough for removal.  

Answer 4

snoring

Answer 5

I get that sometimes in the mornings. Its nothing to worry about. I usually find that it helps when you have a drink. sometimes it goes away fast but other times it takes a bit longer to disapear

Answer 6

strep throat

Answer 7

I've had something similar I think (I don't know exactly where the tonsils are). What I'm referring to usually happens when I'm in a really relaxed/deep sleep like if I go to bed after drinking a lot. I would wake up and my throat would feel kind of swollen (probably because I would breathe through my mouth all night and snore as well) but that would go away after a few hours or so. I'd usually just wake up, get some water and go back to sleep then wake up a little while later fine.

So you could try turning down the fan a bit (if you use one) or just keep a bottle of water by your bed.

Answer 8

Has the air filter been changed in your house lately?  If you're sleeping below the vent, you could be inhaling dust throughout the night which will irritate your throat.
