A member asked:
I have a swollen tonsil and no fever. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: Sometimes tonsils can swell from viral or bacterial infections. If only one tonsil is swollen, this could be something more worrisome like a cancer and should be checked by a physician.
