A member asked:

What should be done if one tonsil is swollen with, without sore throat but feeling like something is stuck needing to swallow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: Unilateral tonsillar enlargement is a cause for concern. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably an ENT doctor. Wish you good health!
