I have had one swollen tonsil since February and no matter what I do it wont Deswell. both of my tonsil are inflamed but my right is worse then my left. I have had multiple throat cultures and they have all be negative to strep. I have been on antibiotics three times. I have blisters on the back of my throat and some white spots on my tonsils but they haven t gotten worse. I am afraid I could have herpes or cancer and I just don t know what to do. I have an appointment with an ENT in a few weeks to see but I am freaking out
It must be chronic tonsillitis which needs tonsillectomy if it did not respond to antibiotics. Followup with ENT specialist for further diagnosis. Other organisms can also cause tonsillitis not just street.
