Yes, it is possible.: It is possible to have only one swollen tonsil, but it should not be so bug that it is blocking tour throat or airway. Just because there are no tonsil stones doesn't mean there is nothing wrong. If you haven't already, please go see an ENT to make sure there is nothing wrong.

It's possible: "...itis" means inflammation. Please see an ENT for a specialist's opinion. It woulda also be wise to see your Dentist about your bad breath. While your tonsils/adenoids/sinuses may be to blame, it may also be from faulty oral hygiene.
