Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
After the self-assessment, a medical student and two ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists evaluate the participants' tonsil size using a tongue depressor and a headlamp, applying the same scales.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that patient self-assessment constitutes a sufficiently accurate method for evaluating tonsil size. Furthermore, it aims to show that patients experiencing conditions such as sleep apnea or swallowing difficulties can, on the basis of their own assessment, be appropriately referred to an otolaryngologist for surgical evaluation, thereby conserving healthcare resources and reducing the time burden for patients.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators hypothesize that both participants and a trained medical student will be able to assess tonsil size-categorizing them as small, medium, or large, as well as grading them on a 0-4 scale-with sufficient agreement compared to professional evaluation, defined as an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of at least 0.60.
