I usually get a cold once a month. and i have huge tonsils that always swell up when im sick and they seem to be the start of my sickness with sore throat and huge swollen lymph nodes where my tonsils are in your neck…im planning a visit to an ent doc to get them checked out and removed. my mom said when she was young hers were removed an she didnt get sick nearly as often as she had before….
anyone else have their tonsil removed and notice they were sick less often?? im 20 years old and im afriad it will hurt…any tips??

Its true that you don’t get sick as often. It will hurt but not for a long time. Eat a lot of ice cream and popcicles and that seems to ease the pain.
I have the same problems,however they refuse to take mine out. My doctors have always insisted that I would get sick more often without them, because the tonsils absorb infection.
But I’d much rather have a runny nose and cough than tonsils so swollen and sore that I can barely function.
I say…if they will remove em…get em out.
They do laser surgery most of the time now, it’s an outpatient procedure and you’re pretty swish after just a few days of eating soft foods.
