thanks. I think I fall here

"Obstructive Sleep Apnea–Large tonsils can narrow the airway, making sleep apnea worse"

especially now that I have a cold. I wake up choking on saliva Sad Sad

@masukuma, thanks. wonder if anyone knows someone who was successfully removed and by who.



Note the risks though;

wah...ok. the person discouraging me knows of someone who bled to death. Guess i'll live with them then Sad

Thanks @Tebes

Surgery has its risks! as you have been informed here is a good list of risks that you face
http://ent.about.com/od/...our-Tonsils-Removed.htm

the point being - although things can go wrong its a low risk procedure you just need to be eductated on these things. I still have mine in me smile . I personally don't like hospitals and surgery! so if you can stay with themn - stay with them if not... know that its a low risk procedure.

A lady I knew of got her Tonsils surguically removed but she passed on a month later due to some undisclosed reasons, do you still need the contacts of the medic who served her?

d'oh!

You do something that triggers your tonsils, look for a shortcut by removing your tonsils (as you continue doing the same thing that triggers those tonsils) and expect to eventually get well? Disease/pain is a way of the body telling you something your doing is harming it, if you remove the tonsils (OR ANY OTHER SURGERY FOR THAT MATTER) it will find another avenue... at that rate, you'll remove every part of your body.

mine was triggered by a homa/cold/*byanyname*...what of my actions could have brought about this and how can it be avoided in future? I suppose you never get these things? Sad Sad

Unfortunately I had mine removed as a kid, I can remember the pain so many years later. Please don't remove them... strive to answer that question you are asking. Please
