Tonsils play a crucial role in the immune system, particularly in young children, by helping to fight infections and protect the body from pathogens. Removing the tonsils can lead to a decreased immune response and may leave individuals more susceptible to respiratory infections. Additionally, some studies suggest that tonsillectomy may not significantly alleviate chronic throat issues, prompting a reconsideration of this procedure as a routine treatment. Therefore, careful evaluation of the risks and benefits is essential before deciding on tonsil removal.
