Tonsils are small glands located at the back of your throat that play a key role in your immune system by helping to fight infections. However, they can become infected themselves, leading to conditions like tonsillitis, which causes sore throat, swelling, and difficulty swallowing. In some cases, recurring tonsil infections or enlarged tonsils may require medical treatment, including a tonsillectomy (surgical removal). If you experience frequent throat infections, consult Ventura ENT for personalized care and effective treatment options. Visit Website: https://venturaent.com/tonsils/
