A member asked:
Is it normal for tonsils to have visible blood vessels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsillar vessels: Yes, it is relatively normal to see superficial veins coarsing across the surface of the tonsils. Not everyone has this condition, but in my practice as an ENT surgeon, I see this commonly.
