Woke up with what i believe to be swollen tonsils, no other symptoms that i know of, trouble swallowing and slight trouble breathing?

Tonsillitis.: Get rapid strep test and throat swabbed . May need antibiotic and systemic steroid. In the mean time do salt water gargle. So, it is time to visit your doctor. Take care.
