Tonsillectomies peaked at 1.4 million procedures annually in the United States by 1959. A 2018 study of 1.2 million children found that tonsillectomy tripled the risk of upper respiratory tract infection and increased overall infectious disease risk by 20%. Tonsils function as immune sentinels at the top of the airway; the appendix serves a similar role at the other end of the digestive tract.
