Tonsils swollen for 5 months I’m so worried

hello everyone im new here

i was very ill in january with a chest infection was so bad its believed it could of been pnueomonia which i believe i had covid19 to be honest i have never been so ill in my life

any way ever since being ill my tonsils were swollen i had tonsillitis during that time which was then treated, but ever since the swelling has not gone down its like a big lump on one side and the other side a little lump they are not infected and i dont have a fever, sometimes they dont cause pain but most of the time they are painful or just sore my voice has been hoarse ever since

its been 5 months now and still exactly the same and i keep getting oral thrush randomly

im getting so worried and so scared i really dont know what to do i keep ringing my doctor but he keeps saying hes sent a referral to ENT but i still havent heard anything back so theres nothing more he can do now im aware of this virus and the situation but i cant cope with the worry and the anxiety constantly

i also have sleep apnea so im even more worried incase of suffocating as they swell more at night i just cant live like this its really getting me down now heres a picture attatched i have oral thrush at the moment hence the look of my tongue im getting so down about it all

thank you
