In the photograph attached, There is a neck swelling visible. Enlarged tonsils is very common during childhood. This neck swelling can be due to reaction to the enlarged tonsils or due to other causes like tuberculosis and very rarely cancer at your age. Do you have any addictions like smoking or chewing tobacco?
Next Steps
patient should consult a Head neck surgeon to evaluate further about the swelling and should not be neglected.
