9. The Tonsils
Most of us have experienced problems with our tonsils. They have a tendency to get infected and inflamed, and this can cause a lot of pain. What makes it worse is that this tends to happen in young children. This is a condition known as tonsillitis, and some people will have had their tonsils removed to prevent tonsillitis from happening again.
The tonsils also include the adenoids, which are located in the nasal cavity. They all help to protect the body against threats, and they are all a part of the lymphatic system. However, removing them will have little to no negative impact on the patients immune strength.
