A member asked:
I keep getting tonsillitis a lot but do not always go to the doctors but i want my tonsils out, will i still get tonsillitis?

Tonsillectomy: You need to consult with an ENT specialist. They will be able to determine whether the frequency of your infections (usually >3/yr) warrants tonsillectomy and give you the risk/benefit assessment.
