Had mine out at 18, 22 years ago. No solid food for a couple of days. It hurts, but better than being sick.
My 7 year old had them out last year and bounced back in a couple of days.
Go see a Dr., bite the bullet and get it done...

Had mine out when I was 5, Larry, so I can't remember what tonsilitis feels like 
Oh yeah, I forgot to add them to the "things I don't miss" thread  |

I've had ear infections that caused that......there all connected, ears and throat.
I would go see a doctor, they'll give you some antibiotics and you'll feel better in a couple of days

I remember seeing you at the plug thingie. You were dazed and starving.  Adults should keep their tonsils. |

Larry, any better? Your age, I meant anyone over the age of 20. The recovery time is longer and more painfull the older you get.

That's good to hear Larry. Well it's better than Toncilitus I guess.
I hope you feel better soon. |

lol
DR Dad............ ahhh ha ha ha 
ps hey larry the acerola chewable 500 milligram wafers sold at CVS pharmacy is some of the best vitamin C around . 9 of -em fit into
an empty film canister for traveling....eat one per hour as you pee out
2/3 of all you consume. For emergencies wiz a bunch in grapejuice in the blender. ibuprophen (advil) to reduce swelling in throat and maybe a strawberry colada at dunkin donuts too.
