Lots of people get their tonsils removed without harmful immune effects. I'd think you'd be in more danger of problems by allowing something chronically infected sit right at the base of your brain. Yank 'em if they are causing problems.

You are surely allergic to it. I have the same problem. I suggest for you to go to a doctor. I went to the doctor and he told me I was just mildly allergic to it because if I was really allergic my throat would close up, and if I did not get help right away I would not be able to breathe. Good luck and I found out I had other allergies too so you could ask your doctor! hope you feel better!!!!

It's Tonsillitis, I often got it during my high school years and had it removed since the difficulty to breathe at night.\n\nThe sign? Your throat usually hurts and it's hard to eat or drink or even swallow. In my case, I'm "paralysed" every now and then, can't even stretching a single muscle when it hit me!\n\nIf you get tonsillitis, here are some tips that can help you feel better:\n\n-Drink plenty of fluids. \n-Eat smooth foods, including flavored gelatin, \n soups, icepops, and applesauce.  (ICE CREAMS; THE BEST!!)\n-Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods. \n-Use a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in the room \n where you spend the most time. \n-Rest. \n\nWish you to get well soon,mate! \n\nRegards,\n\n-Jan

Tonsils are the once to help your body release different types of enzymes and harmones which will act as the first aid or the first battle against any harmful bacteria or virus that get into your body. \nLike when you catch cold, or trying to fight fever etc. \nIf I were you, i would get it treated instead of getting them removed unless if they are often bothering you. If taken out they are not much of a hassel, but i would get them removed only if that was the last resolution

Talk to your doctor because you have to be weaned off of it.

You probably have chronic tonsilitis and you need to have your tonsils removed.  I had the same problem and it started when I was about 5 or 6 years old.  I only really got sick when I got sore throats and it was always big red tonsils and swollen glands.  I finally got really sick for about a year during my senior year in college.  I was sent to an ear, nose and throat specialist when I was 21 and they finally removed my tonsils and all the other stuff back there.  I haven't had any trouble since.

You might want to see an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) doctor. They specialize in that area...

My tonsils had to be removed because they were always infected.\n\nI was in the second grade. I brought them to show and tell. I remember I was very sore and couldn't speak and it really hurt to swallow. I ate lots of vanilla pudding and I got a lot of presents, including a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles watch. Mom said when I opened that present it was the first time she had seen me smile since the surgery.

Soar Throat on and off?\n\nThe tonsils in our throat are cleansing organs, a part of our immune system. When we cleanse too fast, like in the sun (the sun helps us cleanse), they are more burdened.\n\nWhen we are acid (from herbicides, pesticides, fabric softeners, acid-forming food etc.) the tonsils have to work harder and may be, beyond their capacity. Best is to measure one's pH with a roll of pH paper and keep it at 7.5, which is alkaline. pH paper is available at health food stores.\n\nWhat I would do:\n* eat more alkaline-forming food, gradually increasing,\n* stop eating white sugar and white flour products,\n* help the tonsils with homeopathic Kalium Muriaticum and Ferrum Phosphoricum,\n* discontinue toxins in the house (moth balls contain poisonous arsenic, give off fumes),\n* use Dinshah Color MedicineTM - shining certain frequencies on the body with a reading lamp and color gels, or\n* go on a 1-2 day juice fast with carrot-beet juice\nor\n* a combination of some.\n\nIt is important to cleanse, but also not to cleanse too fast, for this stresses our body.\n\nMay you be healthy and happy, alkaline.\nCordially, India.Magica

Take some benedryl,asap.You don't want to take the chance of it becoming worse.Anaphalaxis is not fun, believe me! If at all possible, try to get on a long acting anti histamine.Claritin(loretidine) is over the counter now, and acts pretty fast.Most antihistimines will help with the throat irritation.You could also try drinking a cold drink.The cold will soothe the inflamation.

Very serious at all ages. Yes, there will be some pain, even of tonsil removal. I had my tonsils removed when I was 27. It hurt so much, and some blood came out of my mouth, but I had a towel on me and a little sink was attached to the dental chair. It wasn't the dentist, but a surgeon in the dental office. Drink something, such as a bottle of water or even Crystal light after wards.

oh man, i feel your pain.  i used to have the same problem as you where i could feel it every time i swallowed (like popcorn kernel stuck to the back of my tongue).  then i did some research on it and saw that most people who have them use something to remove it.  i would not recommend using anything sharp b/c it will make your tonsil bleed.  you don't want to risk some weird infections.  \n\ni usually use my finger (make sure your nails are trimmed) and push on it and it comes out.  i also get them on my left tonsil and they grow every few weeks.  its disgusting but i just don't want to have my tonsils removed (i've read that tonsillectomy is horribly painful for adults).

I have it removed now I am perfectly fine. \nI think you can discuss it with you doctor\nand see what he will give the suggestion.\n\nSometime if its not that you take antibiotics more than a month\nand nothing better, they might not suggest for the operation.\n\nAnyway ask your doctor.\n\nWish you to get better.

I had my tonsils removed when I was 18. I was constantly getting strep and my tonsils were too big. Recovery was longer, I lost about 15 lbs in 2 weeks. But it was worth it because I have only had stre 1 time since I had the taken out and I am 33 now. Be prepared though for the healing.The younger eople are the faster they bounce back.

My son also had problems with runny nose cough congestion it seemed like an eternity. I almost bought stock in Kleenex and Puffs....lol. He was even hospitalized for the condition. He was on every med I think known to man kind for allergies. I finally had had enough and told his pedeatrician I wanted to see an ENT specialist. He told me that was his next option, go figure. We went to the ENT and he recommended removal of the tonsils and adenoids. The surgery went well and after about a week the pain was gone for good. He has not been sick since no runny nose nothing and has been almost a year since surgery. Don't let the child being young dissway you from the surgery. It is actually better to do it when they are young than to wait until they are older.

Actually you have an infection.  That's what puss is.  If your throat or tonsils are coated with "white stuff" or "puss" then you more than likely have strep throat which requires antibiotics right away.  That will get rid of the infection.
