low "n" slow, unfortunately you have been caught up in an argument between two posters, one of which seems to believe that medicine is an art, the other, that it is a science.
Your original question was "did it cure your problems?"
The beauty of this forum, is that you can gain some insight into actual patient experience, and it would appear from the answers of posters who have undergone the procedure, that tonsillectomy has indeed helped them. (Although we will never know if these patients would have got better anyway.)
I guess the underlying issue for you, is, is it worth me undergoing the inconvenience of surgery (and the risks it carries), for the benefits I may expect.
It would appear that the evidence is scant in this area.
From the article presented by my learned surgical colleague, some "experts," would suggest that having 3 episodes of tonsillitis in a year warrants consideration of the procedure. Other , more robust, articles may beg to differ.
I have to go now, my lnuch hour is over, and I'm going to be busy trying to keep patients away from hospitals.
