When I was about ten years old, I kept getting tonsillitis, and I had to go into the hospital to have them taken out . When my niece was a little girl, she kept getting tonsillitis, but her doctor wasn't in any hurry to take them out . Now I've learned that doctors try "wait and see" with tonsils instead of taking them out right away . Is this safe ? I know that tonsillitis is caused by badly infected tonsils, and carrying badly infected tonsils around in your throat can't be safe . What's wrong with a good old -- fashioned tonsillectomy ?
