organs can and do regenerate. My right kidney was damaged in my child hood and ceased to function, so I spent much of my early adulthood under the impression I had only one kidney. Then I developed a kidney stone on that side, and the testing showed that not only had the kidney regenerated, it was fully functional.

I too had tonsils removed in childhood at age 5. When I was pregnant with my 3rd child the doctor diagnosed me with strep throat and tonsilitis. I told him he could night be right and he said tonsils can regenerate.

It is not unusual for tonsils to grow back especially if it was not totally removed
