Hi,
If the tonsils are removed, the majority of the instances are due to inflammation at the base of the tonsil fossa through upper respiratory tract infection. Still a consultation with ENT is mandatory as there is difficulty in breathing in sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
