How To Treat Tonsil Enlargement?
For the past 1 month I'm having tonsil problem. First week of October I have throat infection I went to the doctor and said nothing to worry. After taking antibiotics it went off. Then again after 1 week I have found out my right tonsil is bigger than my left one. I have difficulty in swallowing as if there is a blockage and every morning I am coughing with phlegm. Pls let me know if I shoul worry or not?

hi.
This is incompletely treated respiratory tract infection.
You have to complete the courses for not less than 3 weeks if you want comlete cure.
The enlargement of one tonsil has a significance only if you are suspecting Cancer- if it is of long duration and does not settle with medical management.
