The tonsils are tiny pairs of glands found in the back of the throat. Many white blood cells are found in the tonsils, which play an essential role in the body's defence mechanism and help in the fight against infections. However, the tonsil sometimes gets infected, and this condition is known as Tonsillitis, in which the tonsils swell and causes a painful throat. You may need a tonsillectomy when you suffer frequent occurrences of tonsillitis. Tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the tonsils, and it can also treat respiratory issues such as snoring and sleep apnea
