I have got to go see an ENT doctor next week & was wondering if having your tonsils taken out changes anything about your vocals. I hope someone knows. Thanks

I looked into this at the same time I investigated my problems with sinus infections, since I also have had pretty frequent tonsillitis.

They will tell you it definitely has the potential to change the voice -- for better or for worse. And almost for certain it will change the way you sense resonance; like it did when I got my septoplasty.

But I would be surprised if they suggested you get your tonsils out -- it is rarely done with adults unless you have multiple bouts with tonsilitis a year, and even then they think about it. Somtimes if there is sleep apnea, they will go ahead. I hear it is very painful, and that there is risk of bleeding problems.

Thats whats going on with me sinus infections that cause my sinuses to drain down my throat & therefore causing my tonsils to get infected its a vicious cycle that is becoming a huge problem..I dont know if the doc will tell me that he wants the tonsils out Im just thinking of all the possibilities here..all I know is Im ready to cut these sinuses out myself sometimes. Antibiotics work but right after I get off of them I get another sinus infection.. I hear Florida is really bad for sinus probs.
