Im 21 and i have had swollen tonsils my whole life and frequent tonsilitis. im also a singer. if i get them removed, will it affect my singing?

Very likely: Removing the tonsils will likely affect your resonance so your voice may be altered. You should discuss your concerns with an Otolaryngologist as well as your singing teacher/coach.
