Will The Tonsil Operation Help Me To Increase Height?
Hi, I am 19.8 years old, student, my height is 159 cms and weight 47kg. I have tonsils pain almost every now and then. And then after a few days of constant pain I get alleviated for some days, then again the pain begins...I have taken no medicines yet except pain killers... Secondly my height is small and I want to increase 6 to 7 cms... My questions are should I get a tonsils operation and will the operation help me in the height grow... Keeping in mind I keep a good routine and exercise too, but for the last 3 years my height growth has stopped... The tonsils have prevailed since that time...

Hi,
Presence of tonsillar problem and removal of tonsils have nothing to do with increasing height.
And now also after 20 years there is no chance of increasing your height as now epiphysis of long bones fuses with bones.
Even though you may go for swimming, running, jogging, cycling etc exercises.
Ok and take care.
