View Full Version : One really swollen tonsil - no pain

I’ve had a bunch of dental work in the last few weeks and my tooth is still bugging me so I was just trying to see it in the mirror and incidentally noticed that my right tonsil is huge! I one is always a bit bigger but this is super noticeable. I was looking at my throat a ton last month when I had the flu and lingering sore throat for weeks and it was never swollen like this.

It’s so bizarre because it doesn’t hurt at all. Maybe irritated from all the dental stuff? Although all that was on the opposite side. Thoughts? I’ll call my doctor if it’s still like this tomorrow but I’ve never seen this ever and I get a lot of sore throats.

Same thing happened to me after having a tooth abscess. Sparked a lot of anxiety. I’m sure that’s all it is. Obviously use your own discretion though about calling the Doc

Thanks! I didn’t have an abscess, just a long procedure to remove a crown on the opposite side. But I’m hoping maybe just trauma. It’s super weird looking though.
