Summary

This study tests whether people can accurately measure their own tonsil size using a tongue depressor, phone camera, flashlight, and mirror. About 90 participants will compare their self-assessment to evaluations by medical students and ENT specialists. If successful, this approach could help people with sleep apnea or swallowing issues get faster referrals to specialists, saving time and healthcare resources.
