I’m new to this. And I’m sure I’m over reacting and let google diagnose me. One of my tonsils is severely swollen (has been that way for a little more than 6 months) both my tonsils have white specs on them, and my whole throat is red and infected looking. My throat has one swollen lymph node and what seems to be a small lump. My throat doesn’t hurt at all. I have no other symptoms of anything. So I’m sure it could be something else. But I’m just over thinking. I scheduled an appointment with an ENT.
You’ve done the right thing going to your doctor.
Hopefully it’s nothing but an infection.
Nobody here can make that diagnosis I’m afraid.
Oh and stay off google would’ve my advice
