Will Pericoronitis Makes A Tonsil Swell?
I think i have pericoronitis on my right lower wisdom teeth but im not sure because my right tonsil is also swollen. Is it possible that pericoronitis makes a tonsil swell or should i be afraid it is something worse like a lynphoma? ( My neck lymph nodes grow painfull sometimes)

Hi! gone through your query
Lymph nodes can be painful during an infection.It is not lymphoma in all cases :) Consult your dentist for diagnosis and treatment for pericoronitis. He will give you a course of antibiotics which will also take care of your tonsillitis.
