can someone tell me what’s going on with my tonsil? i noticed it about 2ish weeks ago after eating a chip. it hurt swallowing after. but since then i haven’t had any pain? no headaches, no fever… nothing. sometimes when i wake up my throat hurts but i am a mouth breather at night so im not sure if its my tonsil or just breathing? but it’s just there but it also seems to be spreading? it wasn’t like this a couple days ago. i’ve been doing saltwater gargles 3 times a day for the past 3 days but im not seeing much improvement?? help me plz. female 23.

so i’ve been trying to keep up with oral hygiene. and normally my tongue is a nice pink color but the past day and a half it’s very white and an bit pale and i’m wondering if that normal or if that’s any cause for concern? i promise it looks more pale in person. i was thinking maybe im dehydrated so i drank water and not much change and i just brushed and scraped my tongue. help plz.
