Do they shrink with age ?

I have been to the Docs this morning as those two large lumps at either side of my throat are very swollen and inflammed. I have a tempreture and feel rough. Doc says 'you don't have any tonsils' - of course I have tonsils, I have never had them out. He says I have a viral infection in my throat.

I think some people have small tonsils, I've had doctors ask when I had mine out too.
Hope you feel better soon.
