Hi, I was used to chewing tobacco for 5 years and quitted it by Oct 2018. I can feel the increased size of the tonsil near the jaw though there is no pain. Please suggest to me what should I do?

Hello Shailesh, There can be many possible causes of enlarged tonsil in adults:

1. Tonsillitis
2. Tonsil Stones
3. Sore Throat
4. Peritonsillar Abscess
5. Swollen Lymph Nodes
6. Lupus
