I've got this ringing sound in my left ear after getting a slap from my mom. I'm not really sure what's going on or what I should do about it. Any thoughts on what might have happened?

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.

Usually no relation between smoking and your condition, visit general Physician for appropriate treatment.
