Question 1

I'm really worried because my husband has had a swollen tonsil on one side for almost a year now. He's been experiencing pain on that side in both his throat and ear. We've checked Google, and it mentioned that asymmetrical tonsils could mean tonsil cancer, which is terrifying. We've seen lots of ENT specialists and had tests like Neck USG, CTPNS, and Laryngoscopy done, all of which came back normal. But none of these doctors have mentioned anything about the asymmetrical tonsil. Could this still possibly be tonsil cancer, or is there something else that might be causing these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Asymmetrical tonsils can be due to various reasons other than cancer, such as chronic tonsillitis or tonsil stones. In your husband's case, since the tests have been normal and there are no other concerning symptoms, it's less likely to be related to cancer. To help reduce the swelling and pain in the tonsil, your husband can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Gargling with warm salt water can also help alleviate discomfort. Additionally, throat lozenges and staying hydrated can provide relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, your husband can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine or visiting a doctor for further evaluation.
