Thank you for your answer to the last week’s question on Tonsils. I want to know if the removal of the Tonsils (Tonsillectomy) has any negative effect on the body.

Aside from some life-threatening complications, there are also some expected tonsillectomy side effects. Many people experience nausea and vomiting, throat pain, difficulty swallowing, low grade fever, bad breath, earaches and fatigue. The likelihood of you having these side effects varies greatly, as does the severity of the symptoms if you should have them. It is widely believed that children tend to have a shorter and “easier” recovery.
The tonsils which is useful in fighting infection in children gradually shrinks in size in later life therefore, removing it has no overall negative effect on the body.
