Unilateral enlargement of tonsils needs to be evaluated in detail. You may need to undergo CT scan of throat as well ultrasound of neck and abdomen. If there are any signs of malignancy then only surgery may be required, otherwise it can be left alone
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
