Can a doctor tell if you're a smoker by looking at your tonsils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to my knowledge: Tonsils may be enlarged, pale or red, but many things can cause that.You throat may also show signs of chronic irritation and drainage, but again, many things can cause that.The scent on your clothes or breath, however, is likely to be a dead giveaway.
