Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My tonsils are asymmetrical and I am very scared. Is it normal? Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern. I went through your picture (the attachment was removed to protect the patient's identity). I suggest there is nothing to worry about regarding the minor asymmetry in the tonsils. It is perfectly normal unless you have any symptoms in the throat. This is not associated with cancer. I hope this has helped you. Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
