Hi.
The diagnosis is obvious. IF the tests for glandular fever is negative you are suffering from Chronic tonsillitis and there may be an added specific cause for tonsillitis enlargement.
I would advise you to get an Examination some by an ENT Surgeon.
Get tonsillectomy done .
and get the specimen tested by histo-pathology.
This will confirm or rule out the specific cause and you may be alright for ever.
