Is it bad to have big tonsils?
If the tonsils are infected with a bacteria, they will usually get large, turn somewhat red, and may have some yellowish-white debris on the surface. This would be called bacterial tonsillitis. If they aren't infected, large tonsils may also cause breathing difficulties while sleeping. Usually, having big tonsils is not good. ChaCha back soon.

About Tonsils
The tonsils are two masses of tissue that lie at the back of the throat. During the fifties tonsils were routinely removed during childhood. Tonsillectomies are now more rare.
