Is Asymmetric Size Of Tonsils Normal?
Question: can one of your tonsils look almost to be disappeared, and the other one look normal size?
No redness or any symptoms, thought it just looked odd to have one "normal" size and one almost totally hidden. I'm 44 and i think its been like that for as long as i remember.
