Only if they get infected. Otherwise they're helpful, getting rid of unwanted material.
No, getting your tonsils removed is not dangerous. All your tonsils do is help with your immunity, if you get them removed it will not be a big deal. Hope this helped:)
No. circumcision is the removal of foreskin from the penis, which is in a completely different part of the body than the tonsils, which are located in the throat. Every human being has tonsils, which is a natural part of the human body so it is TONSILITIS that I believe is being referred to here, which is an inflammation of the tonsils and no, removing the foreskin of the penis does not cause tonsil issues of any kind.

The simplest lymphoid organs that are found at the entrance of the pharynx are the tonsils. There are three pairs of tonsils in the human body: the palatine tonsils, located on the sides of the throat, the lingual tonsils, located at the base of the tongue, and the pharyngeal tonsils, also known as adenoids, located at the back of the nasal cavity. These tonsils help in filtering and trapping pathogens that enter the body through the mouth and nose.
The number of tonsils in the human body depends on what location you are asking about, but in the mouth and throat there are 4 sets; the pharyngeal tonsils, tubal tonsils, palatine tonsils, and lingual tonsils. If you are talking about other structures that are named tonsils, there are many others such as the cerebellar tonsils.
The appendix. add the tonsils appear to be able to be removed with little bad effect.
Glands at the back of the throat, the tonsils.
Tonsils are actually a collection of lymphoid tissue, not a single tissue. There are several types of tonsils in the body, including palatine, lingual, and pharyngeal tonsils. These tonsils work together to help protect the body from infections.
The lingual tonsils are located at the back of the tongue. They are a collection of lymphoid tissue that help protect the body from infections.
