Anyone ever remove their own tonsils? |
|
mine are bugging me, but if I could save myself a doctor's visit...
Is there a book or website or something?

I used forceps. It was rather messy.

but I really wouldn't recommend it! Besides, it's a lot more complicated as an adult.

3. Any remotely decent book or website |
|
will tell you that you'd be insane to try it. It's only one day off of work unless you're a singer, standup comedian or sax player, so let the pros do it. The downsides of doing it wring greatly outweigh the upsides of saving yourself the trouble of a trip to the doctor.

I can't even imagine. Ugh!!! So much pain. My daughter had hers removed at the doctor and there was much pain for a week or so. I can't imagine doing it yourself.
P.S. My dad says his eventually rotted out from having tonsillitis so many times. I thought mine had until a couple of years ago when I got tonsillitis for the first time in ten years.

8. Had it done for me when I was three, or something like that, but |
|
I've got some salsa -- a little heavy on the jalapeño -- that'd probably do the job just as well.

9. As if it was fun, I did once to my son |
|
It is a long story but the doctor laughed like crazy and said he could not have done a better job.
