A member asked:
Would tonsil removal help a recurring sore throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily.: There are several other causes of recurrent throat pain that will not go away with tonsil removal. Nasal allergies, sinus infections, frequent colds, mouth-breathing, and smoking are just a few of the possible causes not related to tonsils. It may be time to seek medical attention.
