I seem to recall reading something several years ago about studies that showed people who had their tonsils removed caught colds far more frequently than people who still had theirs, so doctors are now resistant to removing them unless it's absolutely necessary. My personal experience seems to support the study's findings. I still have my tonsils, my wife does not; she catches a cold at least once or twice a year, but I can't remember the last time I caught one.I had my tonsils out in my early 20s...I wasn't aware that there is a new philosophy around taking them out...
