Hi. The size of the tonsils does not matter as long as it is not causing any symptoms. The symptoms to watch out for are repeated infections, breathing difficulty especially at night or food debris getting stuck in the tonsils and giving rise to bad mouth odour. Regards, Dr. Aanchal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore
