One Large Tonsil

For about a year i've noticed that my right tonsil is larger than the left. It sticks out a little bit and you can see it when I open my mouth wide. Lately i've noticed some soreness in my throat and have had occassional coughing fits because my throat feels very dry. Now I looked hard at my right tonsil the other day and saw what looked like a little white speck, now I am freaking out. My sister has mono, but in it's much less severe stage (it was worst in late may for her). Since, then I have had physicals, etc. And a multitude of tests because of some stomach problems, which turned out to be acid reflux disease. One time it actually landed me in the hospital because I thought my throat was closing up, the er doc informed me that it was irritation from the reflux, that was over a month ago. I havent noticed any pain, but just a general soreness. My neck glands are fine. Last october I had a really bad infection which made my tonsils and my neck glands enlarged, there was also white pus on my tonsils, I suspected strep throat, but the illness seemed to go away on its own after a few weeks. Since then i've always had a large left neck gland and that large right tonsil. I'm probably just freaking out over nothing. :wink:
