the reason it's worse as your older is because they have to
use the Bovie method. A Bovie pencil-tip cautery device is used to burn the muscles around the tonsils to seal the wound.

As a kid they can cut it out and stitch the wound closed.. Not when your older.. It hurts, just drink a lot of cold water.

It's not bad. just don't do like Nose surgery with it.. cuz then you are screwed.. u will need to breathe thru your nose or your mouth will get dry 1000 times faster.

I had mine out when I was 4. I bled out like a motha f*cka and they couldn't stop the bleeding or stop it from going down my throat. I choked on some and about 3mgs went into my lungs. Never to come out again. When people get pnemonia its because of fluid in your lungs. I get strep throat/ear infections/ sinus infections / lung infections and pluricy at least 13 times a year because of the fluid thats already in my lungs becoming infected and inflamming. I got some money out of it from malpractice but its never going to be worth the pain and suffering I go through every month when I get really sick. When I die...send a card ok?

Uvula... I want to get mine peirced cause I have no gag reflex... its really expensive though. takes two people and tons of work. hmm... something to think about.

Your tonsils are on either side of your uvula. they look like skin folds on either side of your throat. when they get red and swollen.. its time for them to come out. (for fear of infection in trachea and asphixiation)
