So just to get some worries off my chest, hopefully, I noticed yesterday that I had quite a sore throat and that it hurt a little when I swallowed. I looked in the mirror with a flashlight and saw that on one side of my mouth, I had some white spots, self diagnosing with Google I found it could be tonsillitis and left it at that hoping to get a doctors appointment just to check. I woke up again today and found that the other side of my mouth had some white spots I hadn't noticed, and that an area behind my tonsil had inflamed and there was a little lump thats a little bit hard. The first thing that came to mind was that it could be a tumour that had grown, panicking I Googled the symptoms of tonsil cancer and found apart from sharing a lot of symptoms with tonsillitis that the enlargement of one side of the tonsil and not the other could be a distinguishable sign. I'm 17, and I hear that the most vulnerable are people who are older, but I was pretty worked up about it because although I'm not a regular smoker, my tobacco consumption has been particularly higher recently than ever before. In around October I had a joint with some mates and since then had one every say two weeks or so, but decided in December that I would smoke them with just weed because with tobacco they're really harsh. Within the past two weeks or so I had three cigarettes to myself, but it's not like I crave them or anything. So since October I've probably totaled around 7 cigarettes, not that many to cause damage but still it's the reason I find this so worrying. I'm going to the doctors tomorrow, if not the day after, is this a cause for concern?

The white spots are behind both of my tonsils, but you can't see them that well.
