Can you get tonsillitis from your dentist?

It is not common to develop a sore throat after a tooth extraction. If you have them extracted in a hospital setting where they insert a tube down your throat to help you breathe during the procedure, the removal of the tube could scratch your throat and make it sore. If this happens, the best thing to do is gargle with warm salt water.


Can a fan blowing in a right ear for a few hours cause a sore throat in the right side of the throat?

As a matter of fact, yes it can! The way the head develops as a foetus means that pain from the ear can be referred to the throat and vice versa. If the fan blew cold air into the ear for some time and irritated pain receptors there, your brain may interpret it as a sore throat. Of course, it could also be a coincidence, and you may just have a sore throat from a viral infection.

There are no antibiotics that are effective against viruses.

Because some Dr.'s have overprescribed antibiotics, many of the common bacteria have developed resistance.

What does one refer to when talking about recuperation?

Recuperation is another way of talking about recovery. Example of this would be if somebody needed to recuperate after an operation, or a stay in hospital, it would mean that they recovering, and getting back to normal, or taking time out to make sure they get better. This may not always be the case - getting completely better - but recovering from an ordeal or traumatic time - they would be in recuperation.
