It sounds like he's covering all bases.

It's not unusual to find enlargement in one tonsil only. Usual reasons are local infections. (which would fit with the tongue symptoms)

I'm assuming that you are youngish, I'd be surprised if it's anything nasty in a young fit chap.

Index of suspicion goes up with age and history of smoking.

Keep us informed please.
