Asymmetrical Tonsil
So one day while I was looking at my wisdom toorh I noticed that one tonsil is larger than the other. I thought maybe that's how it is for everyone so I checked with couple of my family members but none had that kind of tonsils. So I got really freaked out and googled the symptoms and the first few articles that got populated said its the no.1 symptom for throat cancer after which I got really freaked out and saw an ENT immediately the next day, he said If I don't have any discomfort its normal and I should ignore it.
But m unable to get that fear out of my head. What should I do to be absolutely sure ?
P.S:- I don't drink or smoke.
