Swollen tonsils need not be cancerous, but cannot be definitely ruled out. Chronic infections can result in enlarged tonsils. You need to meet an ENT doctor and get yourself examined. If there is an ulcer or doubtful growth, biopsy will be taken from the lesion. If suspicion is high, CECT head and neck also can give us additional information
Next Steps
Meet ENT specialist and get your examined thoroughly
