4 months ago I went to a doctor for whopping cough. She pointed that my tonsils we're large and red which I did not realise this because so far I had not experienced any problems associated with tonsillitis like pain in the throat or difficulty in swallowing.Also my friends had stated that I had started snoring in the night and I thought if this was the reason. At that time I stopped smoking completely. My cough got cured however my tonsils were still swollen to this day. I still do not have any pain or difficulty swallowing, however my tonsils are still very large so as to leave only a small opening between them
