A member asked:
I have constant lumps on my tonsils that go and come back. can i have my tonsils removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsillectomy: There are a couple of criteria for removing tonsils. One is recurrent infections and another is tonsils that are so large that they interfere with breathing or swallowing. See your doctor to discuss what you have been experiencing and ask whether you might be a candidate for tonsillectomy.
