Answer #1

if I was you id get them taken out :/ I’ve had a really bad/horrible throat infection before. couldnt eat for about nearly 2 weeks. my voice had gone and everything. its last for about 3 weeks for me. if id had the chance to get them taken out I would :( x

Answer #2

I’ve got abnormally large tonsils (for some reason every doctor I have ever seen feels the need to point this out) and they keep getting infected. I am on antibiotics a lot to keep the infections under control. Apparently your tonsils help with immunity so doctors don’t like taking them out. Uhm I’ve heard the procedure to take them out is pretty simple and you are fine in a couple of days (I’d take mine out, but it’s pretty much a outdated practise apparently). I’ve had an infection for maybe a month before, lost my voice for two weeks…

Don’t know how to help you, maybe taking them out is the best solution?

Goodluck!
