should i get a tonsillectomy?

[tattoo_mama]

i have had tonsillitis 3 times in the last 6 months and every time i go to the GP and he gives me antibiotics, which gives me the worst painful thrush (i think id much rather have sore tonsils than the thrush!!)

so my doctor has suggested i get a tonsillectomy. all the websites ive looked on say its day srgery but you should be on bedrest for a few days, is this true? i really cant when i have a teething baby!!

has anyone had one? does it hurt tonnes afterwards? (like would i be better off suffering chronic tonsillitis?) and will i still be functional?
cheers girls

o btw the thrush is vaginal not in my mouth/tonsils
