Tonsillectomy is the surgical deduction of the tonsils, two oval-shaped pads of tissue at the back of the throat — one tonsil on each side.

A tonsillectomy was once an ordinary process to treat infection and inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis). Today, a tonsillectomy is usually performed for sleep-disordered breathing but may still be a treatment when tonsillitis happens frequently or doesn’t respond to other treatments.

A tonsillectomy may also be essential to treat breathing and other problems connected to enlarged tonsils and to treat rare diseases of the tonsils

Tonsillectomy Temperatures have begun to drop and we are officially in the cold and flu time. Sore throats are very general during this time; however, what you’re experiencing may be more than a run-of-the-mill throat infection. It just may be tonsillitis.

Your tonsils are considered your immune system’s first line of defense against bacteria and viruses that enter your mouth. Unfortunately, this means that your tonsils themselves are particularly vulnerable to inflammation or infection.

Because sore throats are not rare, it may be hard to know when to make an appointment. Here are some signs that you might need to be further evaluated.
