So I am 21 years old and considering get a tonsillectomy. They are swelled from having a sore a throat. It is so hard to eat and swallow water and to even sleep cause I feel like I am choking this is like day 5 deprived sleep. My best friend has his tonsils taken out 11 years ago so he doesn't get sick like I do. It will be great to not have to worry about it.
