That link I posted above is called, "A Treatment Guide: Lyme and other Chronic Infections"

You can get a very good plan for treatment by going through it step by step.

One enlarged tonsil can be a serious sign.

An Ear, Nose and Throat doctor can evaluate this.

Cancer needs to be ruled out, not to scare you though.

I had this a few years ago and it was followed by my ENT. If it did not shrink in 2 weeks, he was going to biopsy it to rule out cancer.

Please have it checked out and don't assume it is due to Lyme.
