A member asked:

Is tonsillectomy safe? chronic pain in tonsil made me worry about.doc says have to take surgery for solving the pain&inflamation.is this ok?my age20

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Listen to your body: At 20 you shouldn't need to take a stomach acid blocker. Revise your food intake so it isn't needed. Eat plenty of vegetables and turmeric. Avoid tobacco, alcohol, and sugar. Take vitamin c with bioflavanoids a few times a day to lower histamine and see if you can help your body heal itself. Surgery is best reserved for recurrent infection or because tonsils cause obstruction at night.
