What Causes Inflamed Tonsil Despite Having Deviated Septum?

Hey doc! One of my tonsils is a little inflamed and looks as if it has a cut on it where it meets my throat. The other one looks fine. I have had a history of tonsil stones and tonsillitis (twice in two months last winter!). My sinuses are a little sore, although they do frequently bother me during cold season, as does my throat. I have a deviated septum; don t know if that contributed anything. Should I be concerned?

halo Sir. yes all your problems contribute to each other. throat problem is due to deviated septum mainly. Get it corrected, this will improve your sinus health as well and then tonsil will be better as well. Don't worry about cut over tonsils. Just do warm water gargles after every meals and take steam inhalation to improve sinus health till you get your septum corrected. Hopefully I answered your most queries.
