Right tonsil enlarged with no pain

2019-07-24 11:51:10
I saw that my right tonsil is much bigger in size. looking swollen in comparison with my left tonsil and its looking swollen or enlarged i dont know. I am having no problem in eating or swallowing or fever. Recently I was feeling general weakness. Doctor told me it id bcoz of tonsils and he gave me 5 days of azithromycin and 3 days continious linex injection shots. Even after that the right tonsil doesnt seem to be back in shape with that of left tonsil. Is this a case of tonsil cancer?

Most probably not! But consult an ENT for a biopsy or complete removal of tonsil to confirm the diagnosis.
