My daughter gets them and wants to have her tonsils, voluntarily removed. She is 28. She has had the problem for a few years, I don’t remember her having any issues as a child. I still have my tonsils and have no problems. Some people are just more prone to them. I seriously doubt you have cancer, you are young and that is an uncommon cancer anyway. Ask your doctor what to do, or see and era, nose and throat doctor.
