Suggest Treatment For Tonsillitis And Glandular Fever
Hi, I had severe tonsillitis and glandular fever around 10 months andtoday there has felt like there has been something at the back of my throat, I have just looked and its looks like half my tonsil is hanging off, I m in no pain or anything, what should I do

Hi, thanks for your query.
In my opinion, you might be having chronic hypertrophied tonsils which look enlarged in back of throat.
If this tonsil is infected then it causes pain and difficulty in swallowing.
Only in this condition, you need treatment.
Big tonsil at back of throat , not causing any problems does not need any treatment.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
