Hi,
Repeated episodes of swollen tonsills and associated fever suggest chronic tonsillits. However your present complaints and the attached picture do not show tonsillitis, but rather pharyngitis, which is infection in throat. Surely there is nothing worrisome for cancer like thing. As far as your nose congestion is concerned you can start taking steam inhalation twice daily and some over the counter anti cold tablets like sinarest etc. This should solve your problem.
In case your symptoms persists pl consult online.
Thanks.
