How can you tell if you need your tonsils removed?
AnswerThere may be some swelling, you may get loads of colds. Its best to go to a Dr to get yourself checked out. AnswerBad tonsils can cause bacteria (they are actually a filtering organ) but often children have to have them removed. In the past 15 - 20 years doctors have ceased to remove most children's tonsils, but I disagree (personal opinion) because some children can get constant colds, earaches, sore throats, swollen throats and sleep apnea. When adults have their tonsils out it's a little more traumatic than having them out as a child. It's best to let the doctor diagnose this. It could be something else such as sinus' running down the back of your throat giving you a sore throat, or allergies. I just had mine out, I had Cryptic Tonsil I just found out about 1-2months ago. They can cause infections but nor me or the doctor knows how long I've had Cryptic Tonsil or why I developed them, some people develope them when there born, others later on, but they only diagnosed that when they saw food getting stuck in there (because its holes in the tonsil where food gets stuck, also known as Tonsilitis) I had many throat infections when I was docs never mentioned Cryptic Tonsil, I never heard of them, so I didn't have my tonsils out, and my tonsils never got so big to where I couldn't breath, if they did, then they'd be taken out, but if your having lots of infections, you may have Cryptic Tonsils and no one may know since I guess the only way they can tell is if food is getting stuck in them, and sometimes you can't even see the food when it is stuck in there because there are folds over the tonsils where it can get stuck. I haven't had a throat infection for at least 2 years, but I had them out because they said Cryptic Tonsils only gets worse. Any other way you can tell if you have them, is after you clean your mouth with mouth wash and everything well, take a Q-Tip and gentily swab the tonsil for a few secs, take it out and smell it, if it smells really bad, then you probably have it and should tell the doctor, also check in your throat every time after you eat to see if there is any white stuff back there it would be food.
