A member asked:
He had his tonsils taken out a year and three months ago, however he was told by a walk in doctor that his left tonsil was swollen ...is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Sometimes, tonsils can grow back. Adenoids can grow back, too. A primary care doctor or an ENT (ear-nose-throat) doctor can check to see if that is the case.
