Can I See My Tonsils in the Mirror?

Published in Medical 1 min read

You can't see your tonsils in the mirror. They are located in the back of your throat, behind your tongue.

While you can see the back of your tongue, your tonsils are further back and hidden from view.

To see your tonsils, you would need a medical professional to use a tool called a tongue depressor to hold your tongue down and a light to illuminate the back of your throat.
