Tonsillectomy advice.

  As a child, I usually got strep throat at least 4 or 5 times a year. I usually got pneumonia once a year as well. I wasn't a "sickly" child, I had a high immunity to most things like dust, pollen, mold, etc. I grew up on a gravel road (always had dust blowing around), lived in the middle of the country surrounded by timber and fields, and my grandparents house (which was literally a football field away) was a hundred year old farmhouse. My dad smoked when I was a child, my grandma and grandpa smoked and we always had pets. But my frequent sickness wasn't due to any of the above. I don't ever remember a time when our family physician suggested I have my tonsils taken out, but it finally came up when I was 21.

  This is disgusting, but my tonsils were so big and scarred they looked like holey sponges and food would frequently get stuck in there. Eventually it would dislodge out of tonsil and it was nasty. An off white color
