Tonsils—When Is it Time to Take Them Out?

from Healthy Kids Zone

Tonsils are small glands on either side of the throat that stop bacteria from entering the body. They are an important part of your child’s immune system, but sometimes can become ‘ginormous’ and cause problems like difficulty swallowing, heroic snoring, or chronic strep throat. Pediatrician Cindy Gellner, MD, explains the functions of tonsils and when you should consider getting them removed.
