Some discomfort on one of my tonsils

Question

Asked for Male, 40 Years

Thursday I was out at my sons game and it got chilly, I started to feel a slight discomfort on my left tonsil by the time i got home i felt the discomfort when i would swallow. I have been eating garlic as that has helped in the past but now the discomfort comes and goes. I still see my left tonsil a bit swollen. I am really scared i don't know what it could be.
