A member asked:

I'm over 40. my tonsils have been enlarged since i was about 20. i get ent infections frequently. is there a connection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: For some patients large tonsils may have large crypts (holes in tonsils) that can trap food. Retained food can lead to localized inflammation of the tonsils and lead to a sore throat. You should see your ENT for a further evaluation.
