A member asked:
Hi. i have tonsillitis problem. so i've been experiencing sour throat for the past week i don't know if maybe i can go to the doctor about this or remove them..?

Doctor first: Do not remove body parts unless really needed. Go see your doc and get a diagnosis first. If tonsillectomy has been offered to you as a result of many tonsillitis events definitely worth your consideration, make sure you have a detailed discussion with surgeon prior to operation.
