How much does it cost? On average, a tonsillectomy generally costs anywhere from $4,000 to $11,000 without insurance. The cost generally depends on the age of the patient, the location of the hospital or doctor, professional fees charged by the doctor, the facility, anesthesia fees, and insurance.
In addition to swelling, some symptoms of tonsillitis include sore throat, trouble with swallowing, stiff neck, fever, headache, and yellow or white patches on the tonsils. Bacterial or viral infections often cause tonsillitis. The treatment of tonsillitis depends on the cause and the frequency of the illness.
