Until my mid twenties, I was prone to bad sore throats. During one of those bouts while I was in college, I went to an old country doctor inquiring about whether I should remove my tonsils.
Tonsils are like hemorrhoids.
YOu don't take 'em out 'til they're dragging the ground'. Though a little 'crass', I totally agree with his assessement. My husband has large tonsils and snores, too.
