Background: Chronic tonsillitis is a continuation of acute or subacute recurrent inflammation of the tonsils that causes chronic inflammation. Generally, clinical features such as enlarged tonsils can be found in tonsilitis patients. Enlarged tonsil size occurs due to parenchymal hyperplasia or fibrinoid degeneration with obstruction of the tonsillar crypts. However, a relatively small tonsil size can also be found in some cases. This can occur due to the formation of chronic scar tissue on the tonsils. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the characteristics of chronic tonsillitis patients with enlarged tonsils at Department ENT Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital in Palembang 2018-2021 Period.
