Swelling on Tonsils
From past two weeks i have observed a swelling on one of my tonsils which doesn't feel or pain at all. But when i open my mouth in front of a mirror, that swollen tonsil is visible. Also there are a few white looking skin(i have attached photos) around that area. I have also consulted an ENT specialist for the same, he prescribed me some medicines for 7 days which i took completely and still did not feel any changes to the swelling. Also my throat becomes dry quickly when i am speaking. I used to live in jharkhand but from past 1 month i am in kota. Is it due to change in water?? Or is it something else? Also i don't have any kind of addictions!!
