Tonsils are inflammed and red and touchi
I have had inflammed tonsils for over three days now. They are so inflammed and red they are touching. I have tried cold/hot compresses and tea. I have had this problem since I was 13 but no one would take them out and told me it was a sinus problem.

If you are saying both tonsils are touching each other, you may need tonsillectomy.
But,as the doctors said the primary cause may be Sinusitis.
