In the old days, they removed them without really thinking about it. Now days they've learned that in most cases it is not necessary. Unless you become VERY ILL frequently - there is NO REASON to have them removed. Hang on to them!
The recovery from the surgery is painful. But if the alternative is living with chronic strep throats, it might be worth it.
My little boy had them removed when he was 5...It was definitley the worst thing he's been through in his little life.
Had mine removed as an adult. It was very painful in the recovery, but I don't regret it. I went from having 3-4 strep infections a year to zero. It was definetly worth it. If you choose to do it, try to get fentanyl pops for the pain.
