Adding my recent experience... I had a damaged wisdom tooth. The dentist tried to extract it. Couldn't as he tried for the 2nd time. Jabbed the back of my gums, hitting one of the tonsils. Im using salt water, drying water..and taking antibiotics. Giving it a day or two. To see if swelling goes down

My 11 year old started having sore throat issues off and on this year over the last 4 or 5 months and one tonsil on the right side has stayed larger than the other and doesn't go down, even when her throat isn't soar. I finally was a ble to get an ENT appt next week and hoping its nothing to worry about or possibly have them remove to eliminate constant throat issues. Is having just 1 enlarged tonsil a common issue and what % of it would be cancerous?

[@johnholladay9769]

And throat issues has mainly been scratchy and alil red, never a fever. Did have strep once, Hasn't had tonsilitus or stones, nothing else swollen like the neck or lymph nodes. Hoping its nothing.

Usually due to repeated infection
