A member asked:
What are some side effects to having your tonsils out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain!: Tonsillectomy is painful for an adult and that is the most frequent issue in postoperative recovery despite modern techniques like coblation tonsillectomy using radiofrequency energy. Other than risks of surgery, you no longer need your tonsils at your stage of life. It depends on your personal situation and whether the pro's outweigh the con's of surgery.
