What Causes Asymmetry In The Throat After A Tonsillectomy?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Little asymmetry is common after tonsillectomy. But possible causes for asymmetric pharyngeal wall is abscess or ulcers or cranial nerve 9 and 10 palsy or infections or tumors etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your ENT specialist, he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care.
