Q: tonsils have been swollen after cold. prescribed amoxcil for 7 days. while swelling went down, they are still not back to normal.should i be worried?

Most likely no.: As long as you're feeling better &amp; the tonsils are getting smaller, you don't need to worry. It can take a while for any part of the body to return to normal after infection, inflammation or injury. It's like a deep cut. It can be sewn closed but it still takes time to actually heal up.
