A member asked:
The right side of my neck or throat is swollen. i think could be my tonsils because they swell up and then reduce in size. my left side has only done it once but still just a concern. will a gp be able to assist and am i correct about tonsils?

Let GP advise: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor who can examine your throat and ascertain if it is due to your tonsils. Wish you good health!
