Hi.
The size of the tonsils doesn't matter as long as it is not troubling you in the form of repeated infections, breathing difficulty, snoring etc. They may need to be removed if they start causing trouble, until then, good oral hygiene with regular brushing and rinsing/gargling the mouth well after each meal can help prevent food debris from getting collected in the tonsils and hence prevent recurrent infections.
