I have been smoking on and off for about 6 months, im 14 years old, this is not the time to judge. It seems for the last three months i have been prone to tonsillitus, i have had it 4 times this year already. I always seem to have a chesty cough which has given me a sore throat for a while now . For about a month, i have felt something in my throat when i swallow, so that there isnt anything visible but it feels more tight when i do swallow. Also i have noticed that i have a line of yellow stuff down the back of my throat. I just assumed this was tonsilltius but i have no white spots on my tonsills. there are red blood marks on my tonsills. I am always coughing. And also i have had swollen glands for a while now, i assumed, again, that it was just another sign of tonsillitus but that doesnt appear to be the case. As im only 14 i should not be jumping to conclusions and do not want to talk to my parents as i could be completely wrong. Someone please help me. Thanks
