large tonsil worry

[emmalj0]

So iv a tonsil alot larger on left side which iv been obsessing over. Went drs said looks healthy although agreed its bigger. Said im fine. Said would b more concerned if i was a smoker and over 50. Im still worried. Anyone else have assymetrical tonsils

LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR LOL, it's easy not too but u need to convince yourself it's fine forget the what if thoughts and that it's fine, it's never gonna be same side as one all its got to do is collect a lot of bacteria on one side than the other or one side have a tonsil stone and make it enlarge and never go back just don't look in your mouth don't look at it you don't need to look in your mouth I have just told myself the same thing so let's do it together no more looking no more worrying

I kno iv got a feeling its always been that way i only noticed cuz got a tonsil stone out abd im sure still some there cuz can feel summat. Dr said prob some debris stuck behind. He said to me i promise ur fine he knows how i panic. Im goin to a festival tomora i want to have a good time. I keep thinkin tho wot if cancer and me drinkin alcohol will make it worse :-(

I have assymetrical tonsils all my life and I`ve been constantly checking them in the mirror. But it`s always been so, and I don`t think it`s a problem. So probably you are fine.

go and enjoy your festival tomorrow drink and enjoy, You can always try different gargles salt water tcp gargles or cider apple vinegar gargles all can help your tonsils , but maybe because your so aware of it that you your feeling every sensation ?

I agree with everyone concerning asymmetry. That's just the way we're made.

I caution you about alcohol. Most know my stance about anxiety and alcohol. I'd hate to see a great time compromised by too much indulgence.

Positive thoughts

i have certainly stopped drinking myself due to anxiety , it effects me too much the next day and few days after makes me paranoid and its just not worth it a big big detox for me now, the negatives out weigh the positives and it could make tonsil a bit sore if it is sore , but could just be where your overly aware with sensations

I rarely drink it doesnt affect me too much and i know my limits. Thanks everyone
