What is the function of our tonsils? Is it okay to have it removed?

I've always had problems with my tonsils because they easily get inflamed. I can't enjoy chocolates because if I eat more than a bite, it'll be surely painful to swallow the next day. I've been thinking about tonsilectomy but I want to make sure that I'm not going to have a very important organ of my body taken out.

Had mine out years ago as I was continually getting sore throats. Had no problem since. Never known anyone have a problem, because they have no tonsils, so go and get rid of them, otherwise as you get older they will cause you more problems.

You'd better ask a health professional about it. There is this medical procedure called tonsillectomy. It is actually a surgery for your tonsils. You must ask first your physician about it. There are other alternatives actually.
