I am having trouble telling if I need to get my tonsils out. No fever, but I have a sore throat, runny nose, headaches, and abdonminal pain. But my dad had to get his removed too, so I don't know....and I am not sure if my tonsils are swollen, and I would go to a doctor...but I think it would be a waste of money if it wasn't the case. please help.
