Is it possible for you to see you lingual tonsils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Mirror laryngoscopy of flexible fiber optic endoscopy are the easiest methods to visualize the lingual tonsils. Pulling the tongue as forward as possible probably will allow you to see the upper edge of the lingual tonsils.
