Tonsillitis
I have tonsillitis since my childhood from last 15 years. My tonsills are always swollen but it pains only when I have cold and cough. I have started homeopathic medicine. Is it safe?? Will it not cause serious problem like cancer??

You are having Parenchymatous tonsillitis.
It is Inflammation of the TONSILS as a result of infection with one of a range of organisms.
The tonsils are swollen and red and pus may be seen exuding from the tonsillar pits (crypts).
There is pain in the throat, especially on swallowing, and often fever and headache.
Unilateral tonsillar enlargement can turn to be cancer.

U have to take advise about medication with your consulting doctor
If you are asking that swollen tonsils will lead to cancer that cannot be commented properly without examining your oral cavity
If you have frequent tonsillitis i'll advise you to undergo tonsillectomy
