Question

I'm really wondering if having my tonsils taken out will weaken my immunity or if there are any other side effects I should know about after the surgery. Any insights?

Removing tonsils does not significantly reduce immunity. In fact, the tonsils are part of the body's immune system, but their removal typically does not lead to a noticeable decrease in overall immunity. However, after surgery, some common side effects may include temporary pain, swelling, and difficulty swallowing. These symptoms can usually be managed with pain medication and rest.

Question

I've been dealing with a severe congested nose and a persistent cough for about a week now, and even though I'm on medicine for the cough, there's no fever. My nose is completely blocked, I have sinus pain, and I'm experiencing a head cold as well. But what really worries me is this new bubble-like sound I hear when I breathe out, especially if I'm lying down. Is this strange noise a typical side effect of having a congested nose and sinus issues? Ive always managed to get over colds and coughs pretty quickly before, so this is new for me. Is it something I should be really concerned about?
