Coughing and tonsils
Hi Doctor,
I have an enlarged tonsil on my right side of throat which is there from past 3 yrs. I have taken medication course as prescribed by my doctor twice in this period but no results at all.
What could it be and how should I grt it treated. Could it be life threatening ! It is normally pink only in colour and I have no other problems except coughing from a while now.
