Does anyone have swollen linguinal tonsils that you can feel in lower throat area. I can actually see the swelling close to my epiglotis. Anyone out there have this?

    Hi.  I can't see mine? Cant see epiglottis.  ( i read somewhere lingual tonsils can only be seen by endoscope ). However i can see read beyond my ulviva and my doctor had to stand on a chair.  I can see it in car rearvview mirror. As lots of light in car. 

    How many weeks have u had it ? Have u seen an ENT ?

      Yes, been to ENT 3 times. He said not many can see the epoglotis, but he saw mine as well. He also did a scope, and I also had an ultra sound an last year a catscan for something on my neck which turned out to be muscle. But when I look down way back in my throat I am able to curve my tongue way dwn I see the epiglotis as well as the things on each side of it. He claims it is lingual tonsils..

      I dnt know how long iv had this. It's prob been maybe a yr. But just noticed them around epiglotis in may if last year due to feeling like I had a strangling sensation which my ENT said was from acid reflux caled globus..between this in my throat, tinnitis and acid reflyx can't help but wonder if somehow all connected..
