My DH has huge tonsils, and loves them because he can always get a sick certificate. He just tells them he has had abit of a sore throat, they take a look, and say 'oh dear, yeah they are really swollen'. He gets a prescription for antibiotics (doesn't fill them) and a sick certificate!
He is having his adenoids removed in the next 3 months as they are enlarged and he is snoring but his tonsills are also up and aren't reducing in size! He is on antibiotics atm to reduce the infection but it is happening! If he is ill when his op comes around he won't be able to get it done!
The ENT we saw told me they don't like removing tonsills in young kids as it helps to mature the immune system!
DS1 snores loudly when he sleeps (The CC center knows when he is there due to his snoring at nap time!) and breathes through his mouth!
