If you have swollen tonsils not associated with significant throat pain and difficulty in swallowing then there is no need to worry as they can be big in many adults. If you have persistent symptoms then consider undergoing tonsillectomy
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
