A member asked:
I have spots on both tonsils but only one is swollen. then it goes away but comes back every month like clockwork since january '16. what is going on?

Crypts: Tonsils are pitted cryptic organs with irregular surfaces. They often swell due to inflammation/infection. Additionally, debris or tonsilloliths may be filling the interior of the tonsil. Progressive persistent asymmetry or enlargement however should be evaluated by an Otolaryngologist to rule out a neoplasm/growth.
