Hi All,
Is it true that removal of tonsils decreases a person's resistance to
diseases likes coughs and colds?

A lot of kids who get their tonsils out actually have fewer problems with
infections.

So it would mean fewer coughs (which is a symptom, not a disease) and
fewer
colds.

What about when the adenoids are removed, too?

Same thing.
