LINGUAL TONSILS AND ADENOIDS
Posted: Tue Sep 16, 2008 10:59 am
I'm going to see an ENT next month and amongst my list of things to ask about (phayrengeal pouch, deviated septum, fungal sinus infection, soft palate), I was going to mention the possibility of removing my lingual tonsils and/or adenoids.
I had my palantine tonsils removed about 4 years ago, as I has tonsils stones, and although I think this improved my bb slightly, it never got rid of it (no more stones though).
I read the previous thread, from last year, on this subject, but it didn't really go anywhere, and didn't come to any conclusions.
I was wondering if anybody has had all of their different types of tonsils removed and still had bb after? I really don't want to go through the horrible experience I had when I had my palantine tonsils out (I ended up with appendicitus, long story!!!) for nothing.
Also, do you think going in and outlining everything I want the ENT to investigate is the wrong way to go about it, or will it show that I've done my homework?
