VERY painful tonsil, what could it be?!


Question: VERY painful tonsil, what could it be.?
Over the past couple weeks i've had a painful left tonsil but over the past hour it's just got a whole lot worse.

I've had tonsillitis quite a few times before and i don't think it's that because my tonsils don't look infected/red/swollen...just a little.

The pain isn't unbearable or anything but i cant swallow very easily, move my tongue(without pain) and it's even painful to talk. The tonsil does look a little strange but then again it always has...looks like it's got a bulge comming out of it. This must be normal/fine because the doctor has seen my tonsils when looking for tonsilitus before.

What could this be, i'm getting worried....?
