Right tonsil larger than left
I am 19, and just 2 weeks back I decided to capture image inside my mouth. You can see one is larger than the other. And the other one looks uneven. Internet keeps saying asymmetrical tonsil enlargement is cancer of the tonsils. Amoxicillin was prescribed which didn't reduce the enlarged tonsil. Day 15 of treatment.. Comparing everyday pictures.. The enlarged tonsil looks almost exactly the same with no changes. Also check the 2nd image. There are red bumb. What is this sign off? There is no breathing/ swallowing food difficulty. There is considerable anxiety, I press on my neck every hour to check for swelling, I find two swellings right beanth  my jaw : I am interested to know what is the cause of this? Is this part of the tonsil? I never consumed alcohol, no tobacco But are those bumb sign of HPV? How would I know I hv HPV? Is HPV the cause of this? There is no ear pain. But if I press hard enough in my neck or under the chin/jaw I feel pain. Kindly look into this.
