A member asked:

I've had a cough for over a month and have a swollen but not sore left tonsil. penicillin and ibuprofen haven't made the swelling go down. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See ENT doctor: The swollen tonsil and the cough may be independent and unrelated. But at age 22, the cough should have resolved within a month. Are you a smoker? A unilateral (left side only) swelling of a tonsil rarely could be serious. See an ENT doctor for appropriate diagnosis of the tonsil.
