Did anybody get there tonsils removed due to one being enlarged compared to the other. Ive had one tonsil hypertrophy for 3 month now, started with a sore throat when swallowing done the salt water gargle and the discomfort went away but one enlarged tonsil remains, I have zero symptoms except the size difference and its stayed consistent all that time never changed. I had loads of colds and blocked noses months prior more than usual for myself also loads of heartburn and post nasal aswell, been to ent and they said it looks fine had camera up nose checked everything fine, lymph node fine and they felt the tonsils and said its normal not hard the tissue, also going for mri just to check.neck area is all fine, basically said if I want 100% diagnosis to get both removed and biopsy done, surgery is in 2 week time but a few days ago I got doctors call saying ent sent a prescription in for reflux liquid and steroid nasal spray which to me seems short notice if surgery due and if it was from irritation then it would need more time to work and bring tonsil back down to normal, I was also a smoker during all this but stopped a few week back as was getting a hot feeling at back of throat which seems like chronic irritation rather than anything serious, just wondering if anybody had similar and did get them removed and answers to why it happened. Thanks
