A friends little girl had hers out due to their size. She didn't get tonsillitis regularly, but it was effecting her breathing and resulting in poor sleep. This left her girl with behavioral issues due to the lack of sleep. They had no idea it was the tonsils causing it until they were removed, she started getting quality sleep and suddenly was a different girl. Not that your man has any kind of behavioural issues, but it would be good to know he is getting enough oxygen. :-) You should go to the ENT.
