    I switch weekly or so between VG and PG and have found that my swollen tonsils and dry throat do not subside with either. I have been vaping on and off for over 3 years and only for the past 6 months have I not smoked a single cig. Only when I quit smoking and started vaping did my sinuses and swollen tonsils kick in and I live in Hawaii so the weather here never gets too dry nor too cold so I cannot explain the reasons for my dilemma except that it has to be from vaping.

    If anyone ever finds scientific proof that vaping is the cause of this, I would definitely want to know. Although I seriously doubt vaping could possibly be worse than smoking, nobody actually knows what long term effects PG or VG has. Until then, I will keep on vaping.

    Aloha, Keith

    Same thing here. My throat and tonsils became so swollen, red, and sore for a couple months straight. I hate going to the Dr.s so I began overdosing pretty bad with advil, I mean it was PAINFUL. Then I finally went to the Dr. to get prescriptions. I think the relentless irritation brought on an infection. My course of anitbiotics brought down the swelling somewhat but Im still vaping and irritating the area. It was a very strange sore throat, Ive never had one like that. There was bleeding and some of the tissue from my tonsils turned white (not to be confused with white spots from bacteria or virus itself) just weird....

    I would think that would be tonsillitis or something close to that. Reason I had mine taken out because I kept getting swollen tonsils and white spots. Hope those antibiotics worked ok for ya. I'm going to try switching up a few things and see if that helps with my problem
