Removal Of Tonsils In Adults?

Hey there,
I’m 16, 17 in 2 days.Now i have a huge issue with tonsillitis. My glands swell up and my throat and tongue go completely white. I’ve had this since a younger age ( 11 or 12, possible 13 ) and it wasn’t to bad until i reach 15 when every time i got it i would spend days crying due to severe pain and throbbing. My last time was the worst, i woke up coughing and gasping for air because my throat was so swollen and the infection makes me sick as well so my nose clogs up. I couldn’t open my mouth for the doctors and the pills i was prescribed were to be shoved down my throat ( like a dog ), past the swelling because i couldn’t eat or drink. The occurrences are becoming more common causing me to take weeks of school for recovery, example, a month ago i got this infection took the antibiotics and was fine, it came back 3 weeks later.
So to make everything clear to help you guys out on whether you believe i should or shouldn’t get my tonsils removed ill make a list of my symptoms and recurrences.
- unable to sleep
- extreme swelling causing difficult breathing, eating and drink ( i lost 5 kilos in 3 days, i’m 170cm tall and weighted 55kilos, that dropped me to 52. )
- temperatures ranging to dangerously high levels.
- sick all the time from immune system constantly fighting of infection.
- can’t be taking time of this year due to the beginning to year 12.
- am becoming immune to the antibiotics.
- get most side effects from antibiotics, including bloating, irregular skin and mouth coloring, nausea, vomiting, irregular bleeding, it stops my birth control, diarrhea ect.
Other factors people may ask are about my lifestyle, i am in trying to become a police officer. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs, i train 3-4 hours a day and live on a fruit, vegetable and fish diet. I drink 6-8 liters of water a day and am fairly fit.
I am fully aware of the risks from surgery but am ready to take whatever life’s throws at me after it, I’ve read the goods and the bad’s and understand the 3% chance of bleeding out. Ill just sleep on my belly so i know i will wake up. I need to be sure that in telling a doctor this i am fully entitled to get them removed because at the moment they are hesitant due to my age. Please leave your opinion below and if you have any further information it would be much appreciated. Thank you!
