A member asked:
Drs have said for years i have a huge tonsil. no pain, redness. 70-80% bigger than other. scared. neither pa or dentist seemed concerned. normal, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsils: If you are still concerned about your diagnosis after meeting with a pa and your dentist, get another opinion from your md or get a referral to an ENT specialist. Most often, similar parts of our bodies are neither symmetric or the same size, which explains the "lack of concern" that you experienced.
