Hi

saw your post and thought I'd reply as I have had similar to you. I noticed my tonsil was enlarged when doing a covid test around a year ago so it prompted me to call my doctor.

Since then I have had it looked a few times now (camera up the nose, physical examination etc) and nothing sinister is suspected. The last doctor I saw could sense my anxiety and asked if I'd like a scan for reassurance and of course I said yes! But he didn't seem concerned at all.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is sometimes these things have no known course. And despite what Google tells us about one sided enlarged tonsils being the dreaded C, it's not always the case. 

All the best x

Hi hope your scan went ok? Is your tonsil still enlarged ? Xx

Hello, catmum12345 and thanks for posting,

I am not sure if you will get a reply to your questions as no one has posted on this thread for a while. Just to say if you have any health worries do see your GP and get their input. This is usually the best way to get properly assessed and hopefully to put your mind at rest. 

We can't diagnose anyone, but if you would like to talk to us our Freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and we are around weekdays from 9-5. 

Wishing you the best,

Julia
