Ear, Nose and Throat. Having your tonsils removed is a surgical procedure called a tonsillectomy. Reasons you may need to have your tonsils removed include: frequent infections (episodes of tonsillitis, usually 7 or more in 1 year), difficulty breathing or swallowing, sleep apnea, or any growths on the tonsils.
The tonsils are two masses of lymphatic (immune system) tissue located at the back of the throat. They produce antibodies designed to help you fight respiratory infections. They are small at birth and gradually increase in size until age 8 or 9. They begin to shrink around aqe 11 or 12 but never entirely disappear. When these tissues become infected, the resulting condition is called tonsillitis. Tonsillitis most commonly affects children between the ages of 3 and 7, when tonsils may play their most active infection-fighting role. As the child grows and the tonsils shrink, infections become less common.
