A member asked:
Can having large tonsils have any adverse effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Large tonsils are not on their own a problem. The question becomes whether there are any problems related to the tonsils. If there is any history of sleep disturbed breathing, sleep apnea, or chronic tonsil infections then they should be evaluated by a specialist. They may also send you for a sleep study if sleep is the main issue.
