Help! Left tonsil disappeared

so basically one of my tonsils have just disappeared...and I’m worried because it’s been this way for 6 months now...
there’s little lumps at the back of my throat (they’re not that noticeable though), and the tonsil I do have looks swollen.  
it’s not painful at all. But anytime I try to search what it could be it comes up with tonsil cancer and other cancers and I’m really freaked out..is there anything else it could be?.. (I’m a 16, almost 17 year old girl.)
