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

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.
