Can Tonsils Fall Off?
My step son is 21 years old. He just started complain about his tonsils feeling loose. He said they were at the roof of his mouth and he had to try to put them back down. He's scared they will fall off and he'll swallow them. Can you tell me if you've heard of this before?

hello and welcome to health care magic,
Tonsils may be attached with lots of soft tissue and may appear quite mobile but they will never fall down so do not worry.
However if the tonsils are causing so much problems then get an ENT consult and get then solved permanently
