Frequent Occurance Of Tonsils Need To Be Removed?

Hi Doctor, I am 32 M. I am suffering from tonsils since I was 10-11 yrs. Every 2-3 months I ll get infected(throat pain, difficulty in swallowing and fever) and will have to take antibiotics and medicines for fever. Due to above I am always afraid of taking cold drinks, pickles etc Now since last 5-6 times I observe yellow spots on tounsils... like small pimples... Is it time to get them operated ? I get them almost every 3 months for last 15 Yrs... Thx in adfvance
