Hi, you seem to be suffering from Chronic tonsillitis and this is the reason why you are having an enlarged tonsil. If you are getting sore throat very often/ having difficulty in swallowing or breathing better get it removed. Try drinking plenty of warm water and avoid taking oily food and chilled items. Good Luck.
