Does getting your tonsils out change your voice for a while?

Well, I haven't had my tonsils out, yet, but I will soon and my nose and throat doctor said that for about 1-2 weeks you will have a bad sore throat and probably not be able to speak either. The best thing to do is eat lots of mushy food or things that wont hurt the throat. So, yes... getting your tonsils out will change your voice for a while, but not forever....

What is the site of tonsils?

Which lymphoid tissue trap and remove bacteria entering the throat?

The answer your looking for is the Tonsils, which are small masses of lymphoid tissue positioned around the pharynx (which is the tube or cavity, with its surrounding membrane and muscles,that connects the mouth and nasal passages with the esophagus) *** Go to a mirror and open your mouth up wide. You will see the uvula (the dangling thing at the back of your throat). Behind the uvula are your tonsils that stick out kinda from the left and right sides of your throat like small bulges ... *** Hope I helped XD

How can you tell if you need your tonsils removed?

AnswerThere may be some swelling, you may get loads of colds. Its best to go to a Dr to get yourself checked out. AnswerBad tonsils can cause bacteria (they are actually a filtering organ) but often children have to have them removed. In the past 15 - 20 years doctors have ceased to remove most children's tonsils, but I disagree (personal opinion) because some children can get constant colds, earaches, sore throats, swollen throats and sleep apnea. When adults have their tonsils out it's a little more traumatic than having them out as a child. It's best to let the doctor diagnose this. It could be something else such as sinus' running down the back of your throat giving you a sore throat, or allergies. I just had mine out, I had Cryptic Tonsil I just found out about 1-2months ago. They can cause infections but nor me or the doctor knows how long I've had Cryptic Tonsil or why I developed them, some people develope them when there born, others later on, but they only diagnosed that when they saw food getting stuck in there (because its holes in the tonsil where food gets stuck, also known as Tonsilitis) I had many throat infections when I was docs never mentioned Cryptic Tonsil, I never heard of them, so I didn't have my tonsils out, and my tonsils never got so big to where I couldn't breath, if they did, then they'd be taken out, but if your having lots of infections, you may have Cryptic Tonsils and no one may know since I guess the only way they can tell is if food is getting stuck in them, and sometimes you can't even see the food when it is stuck in there because there are folds over the tonsils where it can get stuck. I haven't had a throat infection for at least 2 years, but I had them out because they said Cryptic Tonsils only gets worse. Any other way you can tell if you have them, is after you clean your mouth with mouth wash and everything well, take a Q-Tip and gentily swab the tonsil for a few secs, take it out and smell it, if it smells really bad, then you probably have it and should tell the doctor, also check in your throat every time after you eat to see if there is any white stuff back there it would be food.

How do pandas eat without getting splinters?

They have this thing in their throat which breaks down the bamboo or whatever. What that thing is called has not been found yet

You have notice that in the back of your throat on each side under a flap of skin there are little white ball-like substances that you can physically remove What are they?

Assuming you still have your tonsils, what you are removing is a combination of trapped food and pus. When a person has repeated episodes of tonsillitis the tonsils start to become permanently enlarged and sometimes pitted, thus trapping food particles. This, in turn, continues to irritate the tonsils and they produce white cells to fight the "foreign" material. You should see an "ear, nose and throat" doctor...he or she may recommend having your tonsils out. In the meantime, you can gargle with warm salt water, (6 ounces of warm water with one teaspoon of salt...stir until the salt is dissolved), to help irrigate the tonsils and reduce the buildup. Do this after each meal to flush food particles out. I have the same thing too and i went to the docter this is what u need to do. Ok set up anorther appoinment and they will get your tonsils out. that is what happenend to me.
