If even a small bud of tonsil or adenoid tissue is left behind by the surgeon, the tonsil or adenoid may regrow. With regard to tonsillectomy, the risk of regrowth depends greatly on technique. At one time, some surgeons performed subcapsular tonsillectomies, in which the outermost shell of the tonsil was left behind. I am told this operation was less painful than a regular tonsillectomy, in which the entire tonsil is removed. Unfortunately, incompletely removed tonsils have a nasty tendency to regenerate.
With current surgical methods, adenoid regrowth is more common than tonsil regrowth.

Know the asteroid wellhead tonsil stones them for many years and it's been title not eventually.
Best decision I've ever made! I was shocked by the way of getting out the stones out. It was so easy, but more importantly, painless. I really liked the little trick he had for preventing gag reflex. He have one happy customer here.

Everyone has two sets of tonsils, as far as I know they remove both sets and your adnoids when you have a tonsilectomy. I was told they can not grow back but every once in a while when I have a cold it still looks like they are there. Its just swollen lymph nodes....

yes actually they can! when they do the surgery if they dont get all of the tonsil it can potentially grow back after time...this does not mean that thats what happened in your case. i would still see a doctor to make sure. could be something more serious.

Rarely, but yes. See your doctor; it could be something else, possibly serious.
