TONSILLITIS SURGERY

TONSILLITIS SURGERY

A tonsillectomy is a 2,000 year-old.
1. Surgical procedure in which the tonsils and removed from either side of the throat. The precedure is performed in resporise to causes of repeated occurrence of acute tonsillitis or adenoidtis, obstructive sleep apnea, nasal airway obstruction, snoring, or peritonsillar abscess. Sometimes the adenoids are removed at the same time, a procedure called adenoidectomy. Although tonsillectomy is being performed less frequently than in 1950, it remains one of the most common surgical procedures in children in the United states.

I have been having a case of chronic swollen tonsils and what feel like slightly swollen nodes directly above where you would check your pulse on your neck and below the jaw. Some white spot on the tonsil.

Sometime swelling of lymph nodes. Usually it swell both side in my case the right side is swelling. The Dr. say is better to removed it.
