Should I Meet Doctor For Throat Pain And Swollen Tonsil?
Hello. My throat hurts only on the right side. i looked at my tonsil and it seems to be swollen just a bit and i think it has a piece hanging near my tongue. it hurts but not like i need to go to the hospital now but just really annoying. i am wondering if this will go away or if i should make a doctor appointment.

hello!!
please dont worry, just start gargling with warm salt water, it will reduce the swelling. If however you develop increasing pain . fever or difficulty in swallowing, meet your ent doctor for antibiotics.
Thanks
