Tonsilitis
My tonsils are there since february and i took medications and the pus and swelling got a little bit down and there is no pain and sore throat and fever but its been almost 3 months my tonsils arent disappearing also my neck was swollen initially when i got it, and now my neck feels stiff from right side and feels swollen but is not yet...could it be because the tonsils are there or something else? I dont have fever and sore throat now but tonsils are there...also i am not taking medicines since lockdown is started so could it come back or etc?
Please help or suggest
