Hi,

i have had one swollen tonsil now for around 2/3 days however there is no pain at all. It happened straight after I was eating dinner, I suddenly felt as if there was food in my tonsil but when I looked in the mirror there was nothing there. However when I looked the next day I saw that there’s a slight yellowish vein, a subtle white patch and the tonsil just looked red and sore, but as previously mentioned it doesn’t feel sore at all. I searched what it could be and all that came up was strep throat but I didn’t have most of those other symptoms such as a fever, sore throat, head ache etc, just the funny looking tonsil. I’ve tried to book an appointment with the gp however they can’t see me until next Monday however I’ll be in holiday by then. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be or what I should do? Should I still go on holiday? 

Thank you :)
