Hi XXXXXXX ,

Thanks for asking .

I have read your query and understand your concern.

In my opinion , it is common to have one tonsil bigger than other in some people . No need to concern about it .

If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
Use Antiseptic chlorhexidine Mouth Wash twice daily like Triguard &
Tab Vitamin C twice daily.

It will promote good oral hygiene & healing in oral cavity .

You will be fine .
