Swollen Tonsil(no other Symptoms)
I have swelling in the tonsils for two months. I have taken medicine for 7 days after consulting the doctor. Then light swelling is less. Only the tonsils are swollen and there is no symptom (no pain no fever) there is more swelling on one side and there is white pus like in it.
I have put a photo of the tonsils and the medicine eaten.
