A member asked:
Here it is 2 months after a viral infection thats cleared but still have 1 swollen tonsil can it stay enlarged? is that normal?does that happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That tonsil hypertrophied during the infection and most likely will remain enlarged and should cause no symptoms unless another bout of tonsillitis affects it. If you have further concerns consult an otolaryngologist for evaluation and advice.
