welcome to Health care magic.
1.The symptoms constant with the frequent infections which cause swollen tonsils.
2.If you think its not the swollen and it is hard lump.
3.Then it he's to be examined by ENT and a swab or a sample (biopsy) can be taken to confirm the cause.
4.First try to get a course of the antibiotic and see if it goes.
5.Hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
