Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Tonsil

I have ONE enlarged tonsil - it is touching my uvula. I have no pain, no white or red patches/spots. I have a history of annual tonsillitis. June 3rd was my last dose of amoxicillin for my most recent bout - a full body and intensely itchy rash ensued for approximately 3 weeks (I m assuming from the amoxicillin). I start to panic at night time that my throat is closing up...I m a mess.

Hi,
I have gone through your query; and if you are suffering from the only one enlarged tonsil then definitely go for the tonsillectomy and submit dissected tonsil for histopathological examination.

thanks
