How old do you have to be to get your tonsils removed?!
Question:
How old do you have to be to get your tonsils removed?
Answers:
age has little to do with it, I had mine removed as a small child, and I have known patients in their seventies that had them removed. Most of the time, doctors don't like to remove them if it isn't absolutely necessary as they appear to have something to do with the immune system. But, repeated infections of the tonsils will sometimes result in their removal.
