Tonsils should they stay or should they go.

Hi all,

Really had the week from hell my mom passed this time last week unexpected so not sure if this as had effect to the eposiode of very bad tonsillitis.

Back history from 6 - 23 none stop twice ayear tonsillitis i mean bad to the point i could not talk but no one said about removing then not sure why.

So fast forward 16 years i have had a couple of bouts but all in all they been good really good well untill tuesday last week. Ive been trying to drink water but for some reason its been coming out my nose yes my nose must be due to the swollen area, i have not been able to talk, eat solids to be honest from what i remember this is one of the worst bouts, ive even been chocking and having sleep apnea all damn night stuggling to breath and waking gasping for my breath not fun.

Just been to docs again ive got a second new antibiotics, hopefully these will work as they did bugger all, my question is the new doctor was shocked how bad swollen they are i personally think they would listen and i could have them removed is there anyone on here that has had the procedure would you recomend it, would you have it done again if you had to or run lol also have you suffered from bad throats after they was removed ?

Thanks for your time

Well thanks for the great feedback so far, ive had a hurting laugh at some of this coments but was so worth it so funny i needed that.

I think there only one way for this and thats to have them removed go through the pain one last time if hurts after op, i could get it done through bupa and work so dont think it will be a problem.

Thanks for you time

Just out of curiosity...do u have a cat or dog ?

I had tonsilitis for 17 years...4,5 even 10 times a year. Specialist wouldnt remove them as i was so small...and i was eventually sent to a "real" specialist who actually realised what was causing it. He asked me about diet, did we live in mouldy house..and what pets we had etc.

Needless to say ...mum and dad got rid of said cat...we had cats for all my life.

Tonsilitis went away within a few weeks and only time i get scratchy throats or it flares up is in peoples houses with cats or massive amounts of dog hair. If i'm near a cat for any length of time it causes the tonsillitis.

And before you say ... no that's just a bad cat allergy....believe me its not

Hi all thanks a'lot for the replies everyone, no our house ain't got a single hair the wife is a cleaning freak LOL we do not have any dogs and cats she is allergic

Right so the feeling i'am getting now from you guys is they don't like to take them unless 5 6 attacks a year boohoo, like a few of you have said else said maybe just maybe if i keep getting the sleep Apnoea that's my pass.

Well i better go just just popped a pill and need to chill, so piece out and thanks a lot for your time all.
