Chronic problems with palatine tonsils and adenoids

What are palatine tonsils?
Palatine tonsils, or simply tonsils, are lymphatic formations located in the back of the throat. Tonsils play a crucial role in the immune system’s function. They act as a barrier, protecting our body from microorganisms that enter our respiratory tract from the external environment.
When an infection affects the tonsils, they become inflamed. Often, inflamed tonsils can become chronically enlarged.
