I’ve had enlarged tonsils for several years. They’re painless most of the time, but I’m worried they might become a health risk since I’m planning a pregnancy next year. Sometimes I get a sore throat, but because my tonsils are enlarged, I can’t tell whether the soreness is from a cold or tonsillitis. Growing up, I didn’t have recurring tonsillitis, and the enlargement only started in my 20s. I had them checked by an ENT doctor in my province, and he told me that surgery isn’t necessary for everyone. However, since he is the only ENT here, I’d like to get a second opinion, since college i also have gastritis and during the past 5 years at least once a year im experiencing GERD i just read that this might be related as to why tonsils became enlarged and didn't go back to their normal size tho im not so sure can someone help please photo for reference
