Asymmetric tonsils: What you are describing is asymmetric tonsils. This really needs to be evaluated. At your age, it is likely a result of infection or tonsil stones. It could also possibly be due to simply the perception of asymmetry. More concerning is the rare possibility of a mass within the tonsil that is enlarged. Evaluation is necessary and oftentimes, tonsillectomy is required to rule out a mass.
