[|Human|] do tonsils disappear on their own ? I have a swollen left gland in the jaw area. And a canker sore in my bottom inside mouth for a week now. I looked at the throat tonight and my tonsils are not there, throat red but not swollen. I did have very large tonsils so you could see them .
[|AI|]  A canker sore can be triggered due to high stress, long periods of acid reflux disease or just some tooth edge trauma. If you have a fever with a swollen lymph node then it is an indication for active infection. Otherwise, sometimes a swollen lymph node is just the body fighting off some insect bite on the area of Chat Doctor.  If your tonsils are painful, or you have difficulty swallowing then you should see a doctor who would examine you and take appropriate action like putting you on antibiotics. Otherwise, you can wait it out and let the tonsils recede on its own.  Thank you for your query
