What are tonsils and what do they do?
Tonsils are small glands in the throat, one on each side. They are there to fight germs when you are a young child. After the age of about three years, the tonsils become less important in fighting germs and usually shrink. Your body can still fight germs without them.
Why take them out?
A tonsillectomy (an operation to remove the tonsils) is only recommended if they are doing more harm than good. The main indication is a history of frequent Tonsillitis requiring repeated courses of antibiotics and time off school or work.

Tonsils are part of the immune system, helping to fight infections by trapping germs entering through the mouth or nose. When inflamed, they can cause symptoms like sore throat or fever—sometimes accompanied by "fever dots" or spots on the skin as part of the body's immune response.
