Tonsillectomy’s can be dangerous for adults actually. I was a told I could have it done because I get tonsil stones (very very gross), and I was already having surgery on my nose…however the problem with adults is healing and the throat getting dry and excessive bleeding. I had a bad feeling about it and just got my nose fixed instead. I hate the problems with my tonsils but I’ve got six kids and didn’t want to risk it even though it is still minimal. I imagine now with people taking the clot shot risks increase.
I get tonsel stones. I just press them out with a plastic handle of a oral examination mirror and spit them into the sink. I saw that Dr. Berg on YouTube had a solution for them but I didn't watch the video. I wouldn't think to get a surgery for something that's a minor annoyance.
Yeah that’s what I thought about it as well, I don’t get pain or sick or anything just the stones. Unfortunately if they get bad they will cause bad breath. Some people can get infections but as I don’t I decided it wasn’t worth it to take them out when I was looking at getting my nose fixed which actually was an issue. I sometimes use q tips if there is one stuck and I know it’s there. They are just so disgusting. I had a friend who got such a bad infection she had to get her tonsils out (mid 30’s) but she had a rough go after surgery which is partially why I was nervous
