I think I need to get them removed,
Just to let you know, getting your tonsils removed is half-good/half-bad.
It's good because stuff like this has a much lesser chance of ever happening again.
It sucks because when you wake up after the surgery, for the next three or so hours it feels like someone's pouring liquid fire down your throat. I didn't stop screaming from the pain (which only made it worse) for about a half hour, despite the nurses and my mom telling me not to scream.
Just to let you know.
