Tonsil swollen and white lining on it

2018-01-09 05:08:40
I AM AFRAID PLEASE HELP ME. I am feeling it since 2 to 3 months but i didn't care about it but yesterday i feel like there is something blocking in my throat. So I went to see in mirror and saw that my tonsils were swollen and there is white lining on it. I have been smoking and having tobacco since 5 years. What is this problem . Is it a cancer?
