Pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids)
No everybody has tonsils. But if they get infected then you're sick. I had my tonsils taken out because they were infected not everyone gets infected tonsils but its better if you get tonsilitus (infected tonsils) when you're a kid because its more dangerous to get then surgically removed when you're older.
The palatine tonsils, located at the back of the throat, are the ones most commonly affected by infections such as tonsillitis.
the tonsils are pink or sometimes red withe white puss if infected
A set includes two. Therefore, there are two tonsils.
They were taken out because they were infected... She had tonsilitus.
people cut their tonsils because it gets infected and needs to be cut so the infection does not spread, i think theirs 2 tonsils so they'd be alright from surgery
You could cut your tonsils off because when you get strep throat, your tonsil areas are infected.Therefore if you don't have tonsils,the area can't be infected.
One set of tonsils, which conists of two tonsils (one on either side of the throat). Most people have five tonsils. These include a single pharyngeal tonsil, often referred to as the adenoid, located in the posterior wall of the upper part of the throat. A pair of palatine tonsils is found at the back of the mouth; a pair of lingual tonsils is located at the base of the tongue.
Yes my cat had it and i took her to the vets they gave her penicillin. She lost her appetite but she was fine.
Only if they get infected. Otherwise they're helpful, getting rid of unwanted material.
It depends... Sometimes the tonsils are infected with bacteria (tonsillitis) and pus will drain out. If this is recurring, there might be an indication to have them removed (tonsillectomy). It you find that what is coming out is hard and white but your throat doesn't hurt, you might simply have tonsils with crypts in which food particles get stuck.
