A member asked:
Can you tell me if on each side and i had my tonsils and adenoids removed about 2-3 years ago so can it be tonsillitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Tonsils and adenoids are usually removed at same time. Tonsils usually do not grow back. Adenoids not infrequently can regrow related to incomplete removal of all adenoid tissue.
