Thanks guys, this has been very reassuring. i think over the last few days i let my anxiety cloud my rationality. And although I realize being 18 doesn't guarantee I don't have OC (just look at Hailey), it means that other issues are far more likely.

I'm glad that I've managed to quit smoking too!

I'll update you guys after the fourth.

EDIT: I should also mention that when examining my mouth at a distance, my right tonsil is very visible while my left tonsil isn't. I have to move around quite a bit just to see my left tonsil at all. I will mention this to my doctor.
