My right tonsil seems swollen and my throat is a bit tender as well. Is this anything to be nervous about? I'm 24 and have always had a somewhat enlarge right tonsil, but it's never hurt like this. The throat is tender when you put pressure on it (if you press my neck from the outside), and internally my throat hurts a bit as well, but I always have a slight postnasal drip so that's not really a cause for concern.
Is this simply a small case of tonsillitis? (No, I don't see any white spots or anything on the tonsil just yet.) The tonsil feels enlarged enough that it's physically uncomfortable. Can I just take Tylenol/Ibuprofen, get rest, and wait it out?
