My pediatrician was of the "He'll outgrow the tonsilitis" school.
At 21 or 22 I got a staph infection in the badly scarred tonsils and they had to come out.
For some reason hospital ice cream doesn't melt.
And that first swallow can result in a massive hemorrhage, which, when a nurse freaks out after she suggests trying to swallow and it feels like someone turned on a faucet in your throat, is a bit nerve wracking.
What they use for a local is fun , though. :-)
