Depends on your age. I had my tonsils out at age 21. I was miserable and in pain for about a 2 weeks. Prior to this I had a life time of sore throats and strep throat. Wished I had them out years ago. Have them removed if you are constantly ill with sore throats and strep etc. I actually became immuned to several antibiotics over the years from taking them so much for throat illness's.
