A member asked:
Hey my right tonsil is bigger than my left tonsil what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing unless: Tonsils should be left alone unless they are large enough to obstruct your air passage , suffer from recurrent infection, have stones, or traps material in the crypts. It is not unusual to have one larger than the other. If they cover up most of the throat area, surgical removal may be considered. (ENT consult?)
