Having Tonsils Removed, Epiglottis Visible. How Serious Does It Sound?
Hello, I recently found out I suffer from to sip stones. It isn't severe yet and I plan on having my tonsils removed of that is the best option. However my main concern is that I feel as if I have something lodged in my throat. My epiglottis is also visible. I'm no sure if this is due to my tonsils and how serious of an issue it is. I've had the feeling for the past week. Any information would be appreciated
