Will my bad breath go away when i get my tonsils removed?

Possibly: Bad breath is caused by a number of different conditions...If your tonsils are "infected" they may contribute to bad breath.

Yes. It might: If your tonsils are chronically infected you could be exhaling noxious vapors from those infections.
