Swollen Tonsils?

So, I’ve been doing vocal feminization (27f, AMAB) for about 10 months, and I quite like where my voice is. I have good control of my voice, and the sound is nice.

However, I’ve noticed over the last three months that my tonsils are swollen—my doctor says it’s probably seasonal allergies, but I’ve been taking medication as directed to no avail.

* Does anyone else have experience with this?

* Is it possible I’m using the wrong set of muscles or something? I was under the impression that the tonsils aren’t involved in sound production.

* Aside from surgical complications, will removal of tonsils cause deeper resonance because of the larger air gap in my airway?
