A member asked:
Both tonsils touching in the middle of my mouth should they be removed.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enlarged tonsils: If tonsils are causing airway or eating problems, they should be evaluated by an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist. The same is true for growing children, as enlarged tonsils can interfere with dents-facial growth. We can't make a decision for you in this forum. We can, however, strongly suggest that you have your tonsils and adenoids examined.
