My 15-year-old daughter has been asked to surgically remove her tonsils because of a recurrent episode of sore throat. I am, however, afraid of the operation. Kindly advise.

The biggest indications for the surgery are recurrent sore throat and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). When carried out in a well-equipped hospital and by competent hands, the surgery is very safe.
