I have a feeling like my tonsil is swollen on the right. I have very large tonsils always due to chronic tonsillitis as a child and also suffer with tonsil stones.

The right has maybe always looked a bit bigger but now it feels like its swollen at the back or underneath. I can feel two nodes under my jaw line too. I am terrified it is lymphoma or tonsil ca.

I saw a haematologist a few week ago who said she did not feel any swollen glands but I didn't mention the tonsil thing so she didn't look in my mouth.

Also when I feel on my trachia I feel little bumps?

Please someone help me with this. I'm terrified.

could you ask your doc to have a look, just to put your mind at rest? x

I've had an enlarged tonsil for a long time, I was under the specialist for a couple of years an have since been discharged. I don't even know what size it is now! Just saying, it probably isn't anything to worry about.
