Is tonsil removal safe?

2019-08-27 02:02:01
I have chronic tonsillitis and doc has suggested me for a removal as I get bronchitis or throat infection regularly. I also have two swellings since years which are painful even if I try to avoid cold stuffs. Suggest if it is safe and worth it. I am scared of getting operated . Thanks

If you are getting repeated tonsillitis, please go ahead and get the surgery done asap. No, there isn’t anything wrongly in getting tonsils removed.
