Hello,
With self examination you might get confused with the normal structures.
There could bean ulcer over the epiglottis and so it looks swollen . Or there could be coating on the posterior part of tongue and because of the lingual tonsil it looks swollen.
Get examined and start gargles with betadine solution .
In doubt do reply.
