Not sure whether it may be necessary. Why would you want them removed? Treating the infection may solve the problem.

Tonsils are the mass of tissue at the back of your mouth, tonsillitis is the disease that strikes them (its mostly viral) and tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of them tonsils. Tonsillectomy is a minor surgery it has its benefits and minimal risks in adults
