A member asked:

Can you only get one infected tonsil?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Although, not common, a unilateral infection of the palatine tonsil is possible. However, at age 40, i would have this checked by an ENT doctor because unilateral swelling of the tonsil can be something more serious.
