Question

I've noticed that my tonsils have been really swollen for a while now, ever since I had a whooping cough. The doctor mentioned they were large and red, but I didn't really feel any discomfort like pain or issues with swallowing. Lately, my friends told me I've been snoring, and Im starting to wonder if it's linked to my tonsils. I quit smoking completely, and while my cough went away, the swelling in my tonsils hasnt. Theyre so big that theres only a small gap between them. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that will eventually go back to normal?
