i want to get my tonsil removed but i'm too sensitive to things going to deep in my mouth, like wheenver i go to dentist, i always want to puke when they stick stuff in my mouth and one time i puked out all my dinner which was ravioli.
i'm just wondering, how do doctors take out your tonsils when it's so deep in your throat?

You are under anesthesia so you don't even know and can't gag from the thought of that. They use a specialized long cutting instrument to reach back to your tonsils and adenoids in the back of your throat.

First of all, you are asleep and not aware of what is being put in your mouth. You gag reflex is gone while sedated if the sedation is deep. So they can do the surgery without having to fight the patient.

They snip it out. You'll be under some kind of euthanasia so it's not like it's going to hurt you. You'll just have a sore throat for a while, but it gets better. They probably give you pills anyways.

You are put under general anesthetic and they are gently pulled away from the sides of your troat and then cut or burned off. I am having mine taken out next tuesday. OMG

You will be sleeping when they do it so it doesn't matter. They have tools that reach them.
