Enlarged tonsil: What did the 2 ENT tell you. If asymptomatic may be observed. If recurrent infections you may discuss tonsillectomy with ent.

Follow up: Enlargement of only one tonsil is unusual in infections and since the tonsil has been enlarged for almost a year it doesn't appear to be an active infection. It was important and reassuring that you had it checked by an ENT specialist who felt it was a benign finding. I also recommend having it followed by that ENT to make sure that it doesn't increase in size or undergo any changes.
