A member asked:

I have been recommended to remove my adenoids & tonsils. just because, i make sounds (occasionally) while breathing. i really don't feel any difficulty, and i am completely fine. should i still go for it? i am 16 yrs old.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes you may need: ' Making ' sounds while breathing ' means you have some air way obstruction , this could lead to dangerous complications . As you are only 16 yr old ( minor ) with your parents guidance decide or can get a second opinion and see the medications ( antibiotics , antihistamines etc ) may help to shrink them ten decide Don't worry you will be fine Good Luck
