A member asked:
I have had swollen tonsils for years and my wbc is normal? have had antibiotics twice before that. why won't they go back down?"
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an ENT doctor: Chronically enlarged tonsils are usually the result of repetitive infections affecting them. If they impede breathing, are a source of repeat infections or in other ways bothersome they may need to be removed, but first you need to be examined by a professional.
