A member asked:
I have asthma mixed type but recently i am having tonsils issues and they are swollen and affecting my breathing alot what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult an ENT: Tonsil removal is not part of routine care like it was 50-60 years ago but it may be indicated in a subgroup of people. The people that can sort this out are often those who must do the surgery and get a pre-approval from a 3rd party payer. I would seek out an ENT for an evaluation.
