My tonsils are very large and although I can breathe all right, I’m worried that they will become even larger than they already are. Would getting them removed by a doctor be necessary?

My son has had an infection in his tonsils that keeps returning. We’ve been on three different antibiotics (first two for 10 days each, the third for 20 days). Each time the antibiotics helped the infection to go away (suggesting it’s bacterial) and two days ago his ENT doctor said he looks fine. That was two days ago, the infection is returning — I’ve watched the white puss-filled sacs return over the past day. The tests for strep and Epstein Barr came back negative. CAN ANYONE HELP? PLEASE!

After browsing the web , I found a source (wikipedia) that stated that tonsils are being removed more often among adults and children for sleep apnea (airway obstruction while sleeping), snoring, and upper airway obstruction. Children who have sleep apnea can do poorly in school, are tired and fatigued during the day, and have some links to ADHD.

Now ,I’m no longer a child nor do I have Adhd, however I do have a slight problem focusing on stuff and paying attention, and since I was a kid have had serious trouble falling asleeps at night, and was pretty shocked to find out that all along this may have been caused by a few peices of flesh at the back of my throat. Anyways if there’s anyone with a slight meducal background out there I have a few questions to ask?

1) How does a tonsil removal help you sleep and focus better?

2) Could I get my wisdom teeth pulled out at the same time?

3) Could I get them removed then be able to enjoy a vacation?

Any info would be appreciated.
