This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Bone-like lump near the uvula. Back of throat does not heal last three month. The tonsillar lymph node is swollen, movable but feel hard when finger touch. Minor difficulty in eating food, no fever, no cold. Currently, taking Rabtac -D, Allergent, Zinc Vitamin.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have tonsillopharyngitis. If you have already taken the antibiotic course then it is better to get throat swab for culture and sensitivity and gram stain.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

My one tonsil is minorly larger than other. Any doubt about tonsil cancer or any serious condition?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No, one tonsil can be bigger than other. It can happen in infection also.
