Throat update. Went to the drs yesterday. They said tonsillitis and gave me antibiotics. I thought that was something kids got.
Anyway seems to be correct as my throat is many times better today. So odd. Never did get actually ill.

Mrs W used to have recurring problems with her tonsils and ended up having one of them taken out about 6 years ago.
Apparently they canāt stitch the wound and just rely on it healing over by itself.
This didnāt quite go to plan and she had two bad bleeds that resulted in a late night trip to A&E and a night in hospital

Interesting, was there a reason why only one was removed? I kind of assumed most times both would be

I really donāt know 
The consultant decided that only one needed to be removed. It was done through Bupa, so maybe the cost issue of potentially needing a 2nd operation to have the other removed at a later date didnāt factor here? 
What do tonsils do?

When I had a malignant tumour in my neck in 2006 it was thought to be on tonsillar origin and the ENT surgeon said heād need to remove my right tonsil (tumour was on the R of the neck). I queried why just the R one and not both and he said that the neck and head is not bilateral so what happens on one side doesnāt necessarily happen on the other so just the one was taken out. I thought it a bit odd as well but nearly 20 years on, the cancerās not returned to the other side.

Maybe itās an adult thing? With kids AFAIK they usually whip both out to prevent recurrent infection. IDK
