A member asked:
My left tonsil has been swollen for 10 weeks now. more sore at night... about 5pm and dried out... sometimes stopping me on my track whilst talking.

Swollen tonsil: Your tonsil probably has deep crypts in it that trap food in then and get inflamed. Try a water pick and point it towards the tonsil to wash the tonsillitis out of the crevices. If this does not work see an ent doctor and he or she will check it out for you.
