A member asked:
One tonsil is 3+ larger than the other. what could be causing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection : past or present. At your age, highly unlikely to be anything more dangerous, but keep an "eye" on it and if it enlarges further or causes any symptoms, then get it checked, pref by an ENT who would not be afraid to biopsy.
