Tonsillectomy?!?!

Tonsillectomy?!?!

Can anybody who has psoriasis, tell me if they have had their tonsills removed or and adenoidectomy??

For children whose psoriasis is triggered by throat infections or made worse following strep or impetigo, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy may be an option. One recent article reports complete freedom from rash during the 16-month follow-up after this simple surgery to remove lymph tissue (Ear Nose and Throat Journal, 1999; 78:155-158).
