A member asked:
Why are my tonsills always swollen ? but not sore ,
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal: Natural tonsils come in a variety of shapes and sizes. If they are not sore or reddened, then yours are probably the normal size for you. Best to not look at them so often unless there are symptoms.
