Asymmetric tonsils refer to a condition where one tonsil is significantly larger than the other, which can be a sign of underlying health issues. This asymmetry can be due to infections, such as tonsillitis, or more serious conditions like tumors. It is important to evaluate the cause of the asymmetry, especially if accompanied by other symptoms, to determine the appropriate treatment. A healthcare professional should be consulted for a proper diagnosis and management.
