Asymmetric tonsils: Unless your throat is very sore or there is pus on your tonsils or you are having very significant difficulty swallowing or breathing, you are probably fine seeing your regular doctor. If any of the above is happening, yes, you should. Even if you feel great, though, it is a very good idea to get this checked out soon.
