Can removing your tonsils completely cure tonsillitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, But see below: Tonsilectomy will prevent tonsillitis but this procedure is not recommended today unless all alternatives have failed. See an infectious disease specialist or an ear, nose and throat surgeon for advice and treatment.
