Having an issue with my throat. Have had a of tonsillitis on my left tonsil and tonsil stones as well. the left is larger then the right and i can always kind of feel it when i swallow. the other morning i woke up and it wasnt painful but i could feel it was swelled so i looked with a flashlight and it was almost touching my uvula i mouthwashed and all of that and looked again and the swelling had decreased. my General physicial gave me amoxicillan and said it is tonsillist but i worry because it is always enlarged on that side that i i could be cancerous. I am 33 and yes i do smoke
