A member asked:
When is it time for a tonsilectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When 1 - 2 recommend: If your provider recommends it and you agree - or if you wish, you can get a 2nd opinion. If two think it is wise, perhaps that's the time to do it. PCPs are quite well trained in this and gets lots of experience in deciding if and when.
