This is a common illness that affects all of us once or twice a year. Sometimes it can be Flu, which is more severe.For treatment, take lots of warm liquids(soups, tea, coffee) and take a decongestant medication. Paracetamol pills will help to relieve the symptoms which may last 3-5 days, then go away.

swollen tonsil on one side for about 9 months. no sore throat/ difficulty swallowing. enlarged glands in neck. no other symptoms. what could this be?

See ENT MD: Get yourself to the specialist -- ENT MD - for thorough evaluation. 9 Months is way too long to ignore this type of presentation. May simply be chronic infected tonsil -- but this would be accompanied by pain. The lack of pain and duration of the swelling and extension to the glands is of concern. Make appt. and get going . Good Luck.
