Hello Dave

Ask you doctor to refer you to an ENT specialist for an opinion. Let us know what it is.

Best wishes

I went to my doctor and she said it was normal as a lot of people have swollen tonsils, but she refused to refer me to the ENT clinic, could this be because I've had the swollen tonsil for over 10 years and it does not hurt?.
