Swollen tonsils

2017-07-20 11:35:04
I am 18 and have had tonsillitis quite a few times (approx 4-5). I had never checked my tonsils before but I realized that they are still swollen months after my last case of tonsillitis ended, one more swollen than the other. They are not painful and I experience no discomfort or other symptoms, they are just swollen.
