Yes. Everyone dies.
if your doctor is suggesting you get your tonsils out....its not a fatal disease...but you probably have been getting a lot of sore throats/infections. Getting the tonsils out should help reduce the amount of sore throats you get in the future. |

nope, i still have mine.
i'm guessing you get sick alot. tonsillitis?
i used to get it a lot.
your doctor needs to make the final decision about that one.
hey the good side is you get to eat alot of ice cream when they come out. so i've heard.
good luck |

no, not unless you have something seriously wrong with them that would cause you to die if they weren't removed...

I believe so. I had to have mine out because I had tonsilitis(msp) really bad. The ENT (ears nose and throat) doctor said they needed to come out right away. I was 23 when I had it done too. So they scheduled me to have them taken out. Even while they were filled which normally I don't believe they do that because it's risky. If they get to be so big your air way is getting smaller which cause you a harder time to breath. Now I've never heard of someone dying from it but I would believe it if I heard it. |

If they are abscessed, it could be life threatening. My son got systemic strep and was very sick. If they are chronically diseased, have them removed. |

I suppose if you had a tonsil infection and the infection got out of control, like any infection it could kill you. But I still have my tonsils and all I get is a few cases of tonsillitis every once in a while. The odds of you dying from keeping your tonsils are slim. |

No you will not die if you don't have your tonsils out.
I've had mine for 20 years.... and I'm not dead yet!
The only reason that the doctor will remove them is if you repeatedly get throat infections like Strep Throat all the time. Removing tonsils in that case will stop you from getting the infections, which CAN kill you if you don't get them treated.
They also will hesitate to remove the tonsils of anybody over the age of 10. The older you get, the longer it will take to heal, which is why most kids get them out really early, if at all.
So there you go. A serious answer to a serious question. |

no, you wont, but you will have sore throats more commonly than others
my doctor reccomended me to get mine removed when i get older to prevent common sore throats
soo i'm pretty sure you won't die if they dont get taken out UNLESS you are having serious health problems because of your tonsils. |
