Sometimes food particles and concretions get embedded in tonsils which can cause repeated infections, bad breath and bad taste in mouth. Simple rinses with salt water or medicated mouth wash can help. Otherwise surgical removal of tonsils is recommended in some cases.

If you are getting repeated throat infections particularly the tonsils than you need to get rid of them surgically, there is no harm in it, if you get 7-8 infections in ayear of moderate degree than surgery is the only option.
