I have a swollen tonsil and its become harder to swallow everyday. Its dry and scratchy from the air i breath in which makes me want to swallow even more. There are also small red bumps on my upper lip and it fells like it is swelling up. I wasn't alarmed at first because my tonsil swell atleast once a year but there other symptoms got me worried that it may be something different this time. It has only been 3 days and i dont want to talk, eat, drink, or even swallow my own silvia because of this.
