A member asked:

Hello i have tonsillitis and i asked my doctor if i could have them taken out and she said no what other way can i go to have them taken out?

Second opinion: Your doctor may be right that surgery is not indicated. Nonetheless, a second opinion is not bad.aybeant to see an ENT doctor for that. They usually have a more in depth knowledge of the indications for tonsil removal. Hope this helps!
