I have one slightly enlarged tonsil with this strange looking white tubular thing that if I pull the tonsil back I can see. My ENT says get it removed, could be cancer because it is asymetrical by being a little bit larger. I have a lot of nasal stuffiness, always have, post nasal drip. Don't know if this makes the tonsil chronically enlarged. He says no enlarged lymphnodes and calls it a soft diagnosis and would gladly observe it too. Should I just have them removed? I did take a 5 day z pack azthromycin.I think it cleared up my nose and headache I was having. Please let me know your thoughts. Obviously it is hard to tell without looking at my mouth. One ent said the tubular thing behind the main tonsil was a cyst. his colleague said a tonsil stone. I don't think it is a tonsil stone according to what I have read. I think it is part of the tonsil but behind the main one. Also have had this going on since 2005, this one tonsil being a little larger. Sometimes it makes me feel a little queasy when it is enlarged more
