Is tonsil removal safe?
I have chronic tonsillitis and doc has suggested me for a removal as I get bronchitis or throat infection regularly. I also have two swellings since years which are painful even if I try to avoid cold stuffs. Suggest if it is safe and worth it. I am scared of getting operated . Thanks

There is no need to get scared or fear. The entire procedure will be done under general anaesthesia.

If you are getting repeated tonsillitis, please go ahead and get the surgery done asap. No, there isn’t anything wrongly in getting tonsils removed.
