Need more info: How much is one tonsil bigger than the other? Small asymmetry is normal. How long have you noticed the size difference? If there are no other symptoms, you may watch and wait. If the size difference in the two tonsils more than doubles, you get enlarged lymph glands else where, lose weight or get fever, see a doctor.
