what are some signs that you need to have your tonsils taken out?

Question: I keep getting a sore throat that comes back alot and sometimes in the back of my throat you can see white bumps on the side, but they usually fall off when you touch or scrape them. Is that normal? Because it sure doesn't seem like it to me. Has anybody else ever had this happen to them?

Answers:
That could be tonsilitis, or oral thrush, or any number of other chronic things. You need to see a doctor and get a throat culture done.

Other Answers:
White bumps typically are an indication of strep throat. You need to see your physician.

A good rule for having your tonsils removed is - If you experience tonsilitis 4+ times in one year.it is time to have them taken out.

The white things might be yeast. they can be very painful. Don't ask for advice on her, instead go to a doctor when you throat is sore and let him take a look. He's the best one to tell you what you need to know.

i've had my tonsels taken out before, but it wasn't because of an itchy throat. it happened to e because my tonsils were to big to fit in my throat and i was unable to breathe properly.
