The same way you can tell when your ankle is swollen: it doesn’t look like the millions of ankles you’ve seen before in your life. Just because it’s the throat and a non-doctor isn’t used to looking at them much, doesn’t mean there is much to it. Stare at throats long enough and you’ll start to be able to tell when they’re swollen.
