Tonsil removal

[Barnesy_10]

I have been getting grief with my tonsils, basically I have noticed they seem overly swollen and the only way I can see the dangly bit is by breathing in when I have my mouth WIDE open, I am sure this aint right.. I get sore throats too.

Just wondering if I could go to the doctors and request to have my tonsils taken out? I am sure its affecting me somehow... at what point will the doctor let me know that I can have them removed? when I say I would like them out or whether he says?

I understand that its not wise to have them taken out as you get older (am 28) but I would like it doing..

anyone had it done at an older age? if so how bad is it?
