Myth : Tonsils and adenoids serve no purpose and should always be removed.
Fact: Tonsils and adenoids are part of the body’s immune system and play a role in fighting infections, particularly in children. While there are cases where tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy may be necessary, such as recurring infections or breathing difficulties, their removal is not always the default solution. The decision to remove them should be based on careful evaluation and medical advice.
