Tonsil surgery, or tonsillectomy, is a medical procedure in which the tonsils, the two oval-shaped pads at the back of the throat, are removed. This surgery is commonly performed to address recurrent tonsillitis, chronic throat infections, or breathing difficulties due to enlarged tonsils. The procedure is usually straightforward and involves either partial or complete removal of the tonsils. Recovery may include a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and temporary changes in diet. While discomfort is common in the initial days following surgery, the long-term benefits often outweigh the short-term challenges, leading to improved overall health and quality of life for many individuals.
