In this episode, Kathy and I have an interesting discussion about the 7 most common myths that I encounter about surgery for the tonsils:
Don’t take out tonsils because they are part of the immune system and help fight infections Tonsils can grow back after tonsillectomy Tonsils shrink as you get older or you can outgrow them Surgery can lead to bleeding Anesthesia can be harmful in children You need to find the best surgeon Small tonsils don’t need to be removedShow Notes
