i've had a swollen tonsil for nearly 4 weeks now and its just not getting better.

i've had no viral symptoms or fever at all. It doesn't hurt to swallow or talk. The only thing i've noticed is that the one side of my throat often feels really dry when i breathe in.

I was given a 10 day course of antibiotics after a telephone appointment and they haven't made any difference. I've also been gargling with salt water.

The doctor still won't see me to have a look at it and i'm at a loose end. What could this be and what should i do?image
