I want my daughter age 20 to have an operation to get her tonsils removed since she has a regular occurrence of tonsillitis.

I personally dissuade against removing the tonsils for recurrent infections whcih can be controlled with antibiotics. Tonsils are defensive organs whcih protect agist bacterial invasion of our body. I know many patients with many different diseases following the tonsillectomy.
