Suggest Treatment For Severe Burning Sensation Of Throat.
Hi, I was wondering when i would get my tonsils taken out because i am 12 about to be 13 and I have a throat that is trying to kill me! It burns really bad and has made it difficult to speak clearly. I am currently drinking a cup of theraflu. What do I do?

Hi,
Firstly, let the inflammation settle down by treatment. Decision for tonsillectomy is taken on the basis of the size of the tonsil hypertrophy and number of recurrent episodes of throat infection. It can be decided clinically.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
