Suggest Treatment For Swollen Left Tonsil
Ugly swollen left tonsil: I went to the doctor with a sore throat/swollen tonsils, received a shot on the butt for what they said was for strep throat, pain went away and swelling in right tonsil disappeared but left tonsil remained swollen on inside of mouth and noticeable on the outside of neck for 5months now??

Hello
Persistent enlargement of the tonsils is a cause of concern and i would like you to meet your ent doctor for considering surgical removal of the same. That will give you permanent relief. Please start gargling with warm salt water 2-3 times a day , it will give you some relief.
Take care!
