Hello
Tonsils regres in size till 8 to 10 years.
After that they don't regress in size.
They will stay as it is in size.
If they cause recurrent infections then only we have to do something... Else nothing to be done.
Just take precautions.
Next Steps
You can take ENT consultation for better understanding

If ur bog tonsils are not causing any symptoms and if the big size is not because of sudden increase in size and rather present since childhood, u need not worry about it..u shud b worried if there is a sudden increase in size of tonsil within few days without any pain or fever or signs of infection then it needs to b evaluayed..otherwise need not worry
