A member asked:
Every time i have tonsillitis it's really extreme. the swelling affects my eating and breathing and the pain is unbearable. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsillectomy?: Tonsillectomy (surgery to remove tonsils) is done much less frequently than it once was, but it's still necessary in some cases like this. Discuss with your doctor, including possible referral to an otolaryngologist (ENT specialist) if not already done. Good luck.
