What can make your tonsils look like they split in half?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsils: I cannot imagine tonsils being split in half. I would think it may be an anatomical variant, something you were born with. As long as they are functioning well and causing you no troubles otherwise, such shape may be accepted.
