Tonsils are an integral part of your immune system: do not have them removed. When they flame up, they're just doing their job.
Too many folks have been indoctrinated with the idiocy that the immune system is an army of soldiers keeping out the enemy: that's pure
.
The immune system is your ultimate negotiator with the outside world; its job is to interface with the local universe of microbes you experience every day and to figure out which ones it wants lots of, which it wants none of -- and, in most cases, how many of each sort it wants to let in and accommodate for reasons of mutual benefit.
Leave tonsils alone!
Let them do their job without billable outside interference.
