Currently got tonsilitis, feeling sorry for myself as missing out on Easter celebrations! Just wondering for others who get tonsilitis as an adult have you thought about having them out? I know it’s not as common to have done now compared to years ago but I hate tonsilitis!

I'm sorry you're suffering!!

I had mine out at 7. After suffering a lot with them.

extra bonus, my little brother never got tonsillitis again either.

I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was 10.I still get sore throats but obviously not tonsillitis.

Yes, in my 20's. I had to repeatedly ask for a referral. I was getting tonsillitis monthly at that stage, each infection getting worse. Getting them out was the best thing I did, I'm so glad I pushed for a referral. The recovery was quite hard though.

Mine grew back. I didn't know that could happen.
