Don’t undergo tonsillectomy. As it is not going to solve problem. Mouth breathing could be because of nasal polyp or adenoids etc. Do this
1. Do saline gargles daily.
2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also.
3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect o...more

Hello lybrate-user.
It didn't help you.
Tonsils are the check point for the infection entering in the body. It stops the infection spreading ahead. And in that response, fighting against the infection it gets swollen.
By removing the tonsils, you gave a high way to the infection and a free pass to enter the more important structure of the body.
So better take homoeopathic treatment to cure it.

My gum was swollen, at the back, very end after molar. I had a lot of pain. Today it’s decreased, not gone. I’ve done saltwater rinse, applied mustard oil. Help.

MDS - Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Dentist•Chennai

Wisdom teeth usually make their appearance between the ages of 17 and 21, though it's possible for them to push through earlier or later. Referred to as your "third molars," these four teeth begin to push through the skin like any other tooth, which can cause pain. However, wisdom teeth are much more likely to grow in at an incorrect angle – even sideways – causing impaction that can radiate this pain to the teeth in front of it. Kindly get it extracted as soon as possible.
