A member asked:
Is it normal to have one tonsil bigger than the other one? ent hasnt said anything and i havent brought it up
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsils. : It would not be abnormal in and of itself if one tonsil were larger than the other. If the larger has visibly grown, then ENT should comment. But if the one hasn’t grown and has always been larger than the other, then that should be fine.
