A member asked:
Can sinus infection cause just 1 tonsil to be swollen, my tonsils also have large crypts.how long till tonsil would go back flat with antibiotic?

You are: Describing two totally different processes. Sinusitis will not cause tonsillitis, and by the way you describe your tonsil, sounds like it's chronically inflammed, for which antibiotics will do very little, if anything.
