Pain in the left tonsil and ear

2020-05-18 12:50:57
I have pain in the left tonsil and left ear. There is no external swelling. Just an irritating pain. The right side is fine with no pain. There is no pain while swelling food. It's just an irritating pain. It's been a week now. I have attached the pictures for reference. Is it something serious like cancer? Please advise.
