Tonsillectomy: Tonsillectomy is performed for numerous conditions and the answer to your question really depends on why you were recommended to have your tonsils taken out. Usually, there are medical treatments, something short of a tonsillectomy that can be tried. In order to give you more specific options, we need to know your condition. Even better, ask your doctor who made the recommendation for surgery.
