Need to examine: Unilateral tonisllar lesion warrants an assessment by an ENT doctor. You may start with your primary care doctor to ascertain if an ENT referral is needed. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
