The Absence of Tonsils
For illustrative purposes only
Tonsils sit at the back of the throat and act as a first line of defense against germs entering the mouth. Many children have them removed through a tonsillectomy due to repeated infections, but adults can undergo the procedure as well. Tonsils typically shrink with age, but if they remain enlarged or become chronically infected, removal becomes necessary. You can live perfectly well without them.
