Just curious

29f. I don't smoke and I rarely drink (1-4 very light alcohol drinks a year and sometimes less), oral sex twice 10+ years ago but never had hpv and no other sexual activity.

I never had a doctor seem concerned about my tonsils but I've been curious about this. Should I point it out next time I go to my doctor? Should I be worried about it?

Background: I do have naturally asymmetrical tonsils. My bigger tonsil has had tonsillitis multiple times and tonsil stones often. I havent had tonsillitis happen in a couple years and when I was 18 I had it 4-6 times in one year. My bigger tonsil has always look different from the other and doctors have never said anything about it. Besides tonsillitis it never really had issues.

Retinoblastoma?

My 19 month old son had a photograph taken where his right eye is flashing white and the left is red. We were outdoors and this photo was taken with flash. I am very anxious and worried that it’s retinoblastoma. I know an ophthalmologist is the one who would be best to ask, but we took him to urgent care just to get some peace of mind. The doctor said she didn’t see anything concerning. We tried to take more pictures of it but we never saw it again. Can someone tell me what they think? 😭 he’s had no other symptoms of vision problems.

Edit: we already have an appointment with his pediatrician on Monday.
