Had first time tonsil infection.got rid of it.now dr say my left tonsil is fibrotic.look anemic,blanched firm.this condition of tonsil can be fatal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsil: No. It is not at all likely to be fatal. Atrophy of the tonsil can occur, and you might want to have an ENT doctor take a look at this, but it will not kill you.
