Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughters has a tonsil that looks deformed. Instead of its round shape, the one tonsils looks as if its divided into four parts. That not to mention that there a minor coating in some areas. I will be calling the doctors office tomorrow morning but was wondering what info I could find out about this sudden weird appearance of the one tonsil.
Hi...if the kid is not having any discomfort because of that then this type of puckered tonsil need not be treated or considered as pathological. But if the kid is having high grade fever and inability or difficulty in swallowing, then we need to consider acute tonsillitis or a streptococcal pharyngitis. I suggest you clarify your doubts with your doctor keeping these points in mind. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
