I'm feeling a bit worried because I've noticed some hard, pea-sized lumps behind both of my ears, and I also have these squishy lumps on both sides of my neck, although they're not near my jaw. Could you help me understand what these might be?

I'm dealing with something really concerning and would love some advice. Whenever I get super stressed, like genuinely overwhelmed to the point of crying, my throat and tonsils start swelling up. It's like I'm right on the brink of an infection, and within a few days, I'm usually stuck going to the hospital for antibiotics. It just becomes so difficult to breathe, and the swelling never seems to subside, no matter how much I try to rest. It really feels almost exactly like strep throat, but it only happens after really stressful or traumatic events. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

Tonsils do not get increased in size usually because of stress. As per ur description of ur condition in your age is because of chronic tonsilitis. A short course of antibiotics will help the acute exacerbation, but Tonsillectomy would be the final answer to end this repeated infections.
