Tonsils & Kids

[AlphaDog]

I suppose there are good reasons to not remove perfectly serviceable body parts without cause, which probably explains why the automatic removal of tonsils and adenoids fell out of favor. There's certainly a big difference between having tonsils removed for just because and removing them in an effort to reduce illness. If my child's doctor suggested that removing tonsils would be a good thing, I'd be on the phone making the hospital reservation.
