A member asked:
Does having one or both tonsils swollen always means there's an infection? what if one of them just remains swollen but there's no other synthoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May not be a problem: If there are no other symptoms, big tonsils by thmselves don't necessarily mean anything.
