Tonsils have a purpose to prevent infections,etc. along with your adenoids. Consult your ENT regarding n evaluation and the pros and cons of keeping them, think, think There may be a different cause of your sore throat. is there a reason you believe your tonsils care causing your sore throat and for how long? What one wants, is not always what one needs. Best wishes in deciding and feeling better soon.
It was the norm way back in my day to just remove them, but over time it has been found out that they are more important to our system than thought and removal isn't such a cure all any more as they guard the rest of your body by activating the immune system early if they come into contact with germs. If they are very large though, they can imped sleeping. If you have more than 5-7 throat infections a year, you may want them removed.
