Right Tonsil Looks Swollen And Detached. White Stuff Like Food Stuck. Throat Was Sore After Oral Sex. Suggest Further Step?

My right tonsil looks swollen and detached... I can feel it moving back and forth while i breathe... It doesnt hurt... There is white stuff on it but i figured its food that gets stuck on it because I am able to remove it.... No fever, no pain... Discovered it after oral sex, my throat was sore, looked in and it was there. Will a doctor sew it back into place or can he remove it entirely?

Hello
tonsil can never get detached just like that or even after oral sex.
There can be food particles which may get collected in the crypts or spaces in the tonsil.
There should not be any trauma as you do not have pain.
You can do gargle with hexidine or listerine for few days.
in doubt do reply
