Can slightly swollen tonsil and neck lump for 3 weeks signify a cancer( no signs of inflammation) ?

Tonsils &neck lump: Your slightly swollen tonsil and accompanying swollen lymph gland more likely represent an infection rather than cancer.On the contrary, the swollen tonsil and the neck lump or lymph node are signs of inflammation
