My Right Tonsil Is Swollen, But Not My Left. It Doesn't Hurt
Posted: 08-12-07 13:48pm

It worries me cause it's been like this for going on 3 years. I had a bad sinus infection about a year and a half ago and the doctor told me if the swelling doesn't go down with the medicine he gave me that I would need to go to an ENT and probably have them removed. I'm just a little worried cause at this time I don't have the funds to do that and was wondering if I leave them how they are could that cause some kind of serious infection or cause me to get cancer of the tonsils or what...Only one of them are swollen. But its really huge and looks completely abnormal. I'm also a heave smoker too...Should I stop smoking and see if that cause the swelling to go down?
