At your next appointment be sure to mention (and speak up if your parent's are speaking for you, you're old enough) how often you have sore throats and that you have damaged tonsils (I assume a doc told you this). Ask if there is anything that can be done.

At a certain age, doctors will usually allow you to decide if you want your folks in the checkup with you or not. I think I was 13 the first time, so you might have a bit to wait.

Surgery is serious and it is not fun. Anethesia can cause problems for people and even kill them. The surgery is very routine (5 mins according to one of my docs), but it is not without risk.

If their beliefs are due to a religion, I don't know what to tell ya.

Good luck.

If you need to get them removed, the doctor will let you and your parents know. Otherwise, you will be fine.

Frequent sore throats is not enough of a reason to get them removed nowadays. From what I keep on hearing, you need to get Strep Throat numerous time in one year before the doctor will tell you you need to get them removed.

This debate has been going on for at least the last 60 years. My mother almost died when she was 16 because they wouldn't take them out until her throat started to close up.
The problem is that if your tonsils are so weak (probably due to genetics) you will have to suffer through countless infections until they finally do come out. They are not going to get better. It's better to get them out - as soon as your current infection has cleared up.

I had the same problem but worse, I'd wake up with puss on my tonsils and my throat hurting soooo bad that i couldnt eat, once it even hurt me so bad i couldn`t move my head completly around because the tonsils wouldn`t let it(had to go to the hospital because of that one). But I never had my tonsils out and eventually you outgrow conditions like that. Just don`t be a baby and suck it up.

You need to talk to your parents and tell them its your throat and it getting old having sore throats all the time..something needs to be done about it

The doctor will bring it up if you NEED to have them taken out...doctors new or not know what they are doing and you need to let them do their job....and maybe next time you are in there ask "Do you think I will need to have them taken out?"

Another reason why religion sucks! It's a shame that you have to be near death or at least in severe agony to get you parents to care for you. It's wrong and they should be sterilized immediately!!
