Hello Dr. Abiy,
I am a 20-year-old male, and I would like to ask for your advice regarding a problem I’ve been experiencing. Almost every morning when I wake up, I have pain and soreness in my throat/neck area around my tonsils. The discomfort mainly occurs after sleeping and tends to improve later in the day. This has been happening regularly, and I’m concerned that it may be related to my tonsils or another underlying issue.
Could you please let me know what might be causing this and whether I should get it examined? Thank you for your time.
