Do Elongated Tonsils Cause Any Health Issue?

How are you? I have elongated tonsils and was told by my Doctor that it was nothing to worry about. Is this true? Just a note, I also have Arnold Chiari Malformation. I hope this will not interfere with this disease. Thank you for listening, hopefully you can answer my question.
