I only noticed when a tiny bit of a nut got caught in the back of my throat. I washed my hands and had a dig about and realised my tonsil on the right was no more The other one has shrunk.

I've asked about and no one's heard of this?

Should I perhaps see the GP?

TIA

Bump.

As you get older, they do shrink. As always you are really bothered then have a trip to the docs. Do you have any other synptoms?

Thanks for replying mayihaveaboxofchoculaits.

No other symptoms. I haven't even got the lurgy that most at work seem to have.

I'll see the GP anyway.

one of mine has done the same. I just thought it was normal as you got older! Let me know if you find out to the contrary.

I will do mrs.

I have one the has shrivelled away, the Dr noticed it when I had a throat infection but didn't seem worried by it, it does mean if my throat is sore now it's only sore on one side, so that's a bonus .

Glad your Dr wasn't worried incogKNEEto.

Oh opalstones I used to easily be able to get my toe in my throat had I wished to Not nowadays though.
