Call Doctor: Can be caused by an infection such as strep or mono or severe allergic response. The type of infection/condition will dictate treatment. Breathing may be affected and can make sleep apnea more severe. Should see M.D. Right away for proper diagnosis and treatment.

See your physician.: Swollen tonsils can be a sign of infection, so see your physician or an ENT specialist and find out what is going on!
