Gerd treatment: Depends on what you mean by crackle!gerd or acid reflux,treated by meds and diet modification,(symptoms of gerd are foreign body sensation,intermittent change in voice,constantly clearing throat), removing tonsils will not help.tonsil surgery only indicated for recurring tonsil infections,
