A member asked:

I have one swollen tonsil, and my ear hurts but no other symptoms. it feels like i have something stuck in my tonsil, but i don't see tonsil stones.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swollen tonsil: One tonsil larger than the other is reason for an exam. It could be a sign of a peritonsillar abscess, inflammatory or neoplastic process. It needs to be evaluated, followed and possibly biopsied drained or removed.
