<p>Updating my old post, DD had her tonsils out a little over 2 years ago and it was a game changer for her. Should have done it long before. She is no longer sick so often and when she is it does not knock her voice out for 3 weeks at a time. We went ot a specialist who handled voice professionals. HE took one look at her tonsils and said they had to go even though other ENTs did not think so. Make sure you are seeing someone who treats professional singers.</p>
<p>Recovery was hard for about 2 weeks and no singing for 6 weeks. The hardest part of recovery was how long it took to regain control over her air with all of the extra space. Her tonsils had been huge. That took months.</p>
