Tonsils and Adenoids become inflamed when a child is fighting infection
Adenoids are lymph nodes above the tonsils
When they become inflamed they need to be aided, by vitamin D?, but not removed
400,000 Tonsillectomies per year in US costing $ 5,400 each average
Note: Would need to breath thru the nose, not the mouth, to get any inhaled vitamin D to adenoids
Huge difference in rate of tonsil removals in different countries
My opinion:
Low vitamin D increases the risk of many immune system problems, such as Tonsilitis
Tonsilitis might be treated vitamin D supplements
Removal of tonsils result in increased risk of various health problems:
respiratory, cancers, allergies, deep neck infection, etc.
Suspect that Vitamin D spayed orally or inhaled would be better
Getting vitamin D to the spot that needs it is very important

Key Points
- Questions Are there long-term health risks after having adenoids or tonsils removed in childhood?
- Findings In this population-based cohort study of almost 1.2 million children, removal of adenoids or tonsils in childhood was associated with significantly increased relative risk of later respiratory, allergic, and infectious diseases. Increases in long-term absolute disease risks were considerably larger than changes in risk for the disorders these surgeries aim to treat.
- Meaning The long-term risks of these surgeries deserve careful consideration.
Importance Surgical removal of adenoids and tonsils to treat obstructed breathing or recurrent middle-ear infections remain common pediatric procedures; however, little is known about their long-term health consequences despite the fact that these lymphatic organs play important roles in the development and function of the immune system.
Objective To estimate long-term disease risks associated with adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, and adenotonsillectomy in childhood.
Design, Setting, and Participants A population-based cohort study of up to 1 189 061 children born in Denmark between 1979 and 1999 and evaluated in linked national registers up to 2009, covering at least the first 10 and up to 30 years of their life, was carried out. Participants in the case and control groups were selected such that their health did not differ significantly prior to surgery.
Exposures Participants were classified as exposed if adenoids or tonsils were removed within the first 9 years of life.
Main Outcomes and Measures The incidence of disease (defined by International Classification of Diseases, Eighth Revision ICD-8 and Tenth Revision [ICD-10] diagnoses) up to age 30 years was examined using stratified Cox proportional hazard regressions that adjusted for 18 covariates, including parental disease history, pregnancy complications, birth weight, Apgar score, sex, socioeconomic markers, and region of Denmark born.
Results A total of up to 1 189 061 children were included in this study (48% female); 17 460 underwent adenoidectomy, 11 830 tonsillectomy, and 31 377 adenotonsillectomy; 1 157 684 were in the control group. Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy were associated with a 2- to 3-fold increase in diseases of the upper respiratory tract (relative risk [RR], 1.99; 95% CI, 1.51-2.63 and RR, 2.72; 95% CI, 1.54-4.80; respectively). Smaller increases in risks for infectious and allergic diseases were also found: adenotonsillectomy was associated with a 17% increased risk of infectious diseases (RR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.10-1.25) corresponding to an absolute risk increase of 2.14% because these diseases are relatively common (12%) in the population. In contrast, the long-term risks for conditions that these surgeries aim to treat often did not differ significantly and were sometimes lower or higher.
Conclusions and Relevance In this study of almost
- 1.2 million children, of whom
- 17 460 had adenoidectomy,
- 11 830 tonsillectomy, and
- 31 377 adenotonsillectomy,
surgeries were associated with increased long-term risks of respiratory, infectious, and allergic diseases. Although rigorous controls for confounding were used where such data were available, it is possible these effects could not be fully accounted for. Our results suggest it is important to consider long-term risks when making decisions to perform tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy.
- "a tonsillectomy, is the one of the most common paediatric surgeries performed worldwid"
- 1 in 5 surgeries later had respiratory problem
"Only 5 individuals needed to have the operation to cause an extra upper respiratory disease to appear in 1 of those individuals", Dr Boomsma added. - "But we now know that adenoids and tonsils are strategically positioned in the nose and throat respectively, in an arrangement known as Waldeyer’s ring. They act as a first line of defence, helping to recognise airborne pathogens like bacteria and viruses, and begin the immune response to clear them from the body"
Study reported on by GreenMedInfo (Founder of which had severe respiratory problems after A&T removal)
“Children who had undergone tonsillectomies were found to have a nearly three-fold increase in the risk of developing certain diseases of the upper respiratory tract, including
- asthma,
- influenza,
- pneumonia,
- chronic bronchitis, and
- emphysema.
Removal of adenoids in addition to tonsils more than quadrupled chances of developing
- allergies,
- inner-ear inflammation, and
- sinusitis

Increased risk of many early-life diseases after surgical removal of adenoids and tonsils in childhood
Sean G. Byars, Stephen C. Stearns, Jacobus J. Boomsma: doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/158691
Relative risk magnitude and direction correspond to red (increased relative risk) and blue (decreased relative risk) colors (see key, top right) derived from Cox regressions capturing the risk of diseases (vertical axis) within the first 30 years of life depending on 21 covariates (horizontal axis). Within each circle there are three divisions corresponding to
surgery type (see mid-right key). A black border indicates whether risk for that particular disease-covariate combination was significant after Bonferroni correction for 78 tests; a complete black border surrounding a circle indicates that risks were
significant for all three surgeries. Disease risks for the covariate ‘region most lived in Denmark’ are relative to Hovedstaden (Copenhagen region).

Removing Your Tonsils Is a Bad Idea
- "Although the number of tonsillectomies has declined drastically in the last 30 years, the surgery continues to be one of the most commonly performed on children,2 with more than 530,000 done each year on children under 15 in the U.S"
- ...England's National Health Service (NHS) has classified the surgery as "of limited benefit,"4 with some commissioners unwilling to pay for surgery unless a child has had eight cases of tonsillitis documented by a physician visit in one year..."

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of 25(OH) vitamin D deficiency in children undergoing (adeno)tonsillectomy.
METHODS: From 1st November 2008 to 20th December 2008, 33 children aged from 4 to 16 and resident in Auckland, New Zealand (latitude 36° 52' S) undergoing (adeno)tonsillectomy for difficulty breathing/sleep apnoea and/or recurrent tonsillitis had 25(OH) vitamin D, iron and zinc levels measured.
RESULTS: Of the 32 patients who had 25(OH) vitamin D levels measured, 15.6% were vitamin D deficient (25(OH) vitamin D<50nmol/L), and 78% had levels, <75nmol/L. 25(OH) vitamin D level was inversely correlated with Fitzpatrick skin type (Spearman's rho=-0.713, p<0.01), body mass index (BMI) (Spearman's rho=-0.434, p=0.013) and tonsil size (Spearman's rho=-0.417, p=0.017). However regression modeling demonstrated that only Fitzpatrick skin type (β=-0.687, p=0.001) and BMI (β=-0.256, p=0.044) were significant predictors of vitamin D levels (R(2)=0.572).
CONCLUSIONS: Seventy-eight percent of Auckland children undergoing (adeno)tonsillectomy had a 25(OH) vitamin D level<75nmol/L, a level which is associated with an increased incidence of upper respiratory tract infection. Low 25(OH) vitamin D levels were related to a darker skin, increased BMI and larger assessed tonsil size. The association of larger tonsil size with lower 25(OH) vitamin D status needs further evaluation but offers a potential explanation why black and Hispanic children are more likely than white children to have (adeno)tonsillectomy for snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea.

OBJECTIVE: Because of the recent data supporting an immunoregulatory role for vitamin D, we evaluated levels of vitamin D in children undergoing adenotonsillectomies (T&A) and controls.
METHODS: We prospectively collected data from 47 children undergoing T&As and 15 undergoing unrelated elective procedures at a tertiary care children's hospital. Demographic and disease specific data was obtained in addition to a blood sample for the measurement of 25-hydroxy (OH)-vitamin D.
RESULTS: There were no differences in vitamin D levels between the groups and levels did not correlate to any disease parameters in the children undergoing T&A. The only significant differences were related to race in that African American children had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to Caucasians.
CONCLUSION: This pilot study did not show an association between serum vitamin D and the need to have adenotonsillectomy.

AIM: Although recurrent tonsillitis can be the consequence of defects in immune system, the exact etiology of recurrent tonsillitis is not clear. In this study, our aim was to determine the serum vitamin D levels and vitamin D receptor polymorphism among children undergone tonsillectomy due to the recurrent tonsillitis.
METHODS: A 106 children undergone tonsillectomy due to recurrent tonsillitis and a 127 healthy children aging between 2 and 12 years were enrolled in this study, to determine serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms (Apa1, Taq 1, fok1). Serum vitamin D level was measured with ELISA (nmol/L) and receptor gene polymorphism was determined by PCR. Vitamin D serum level below 80nmol/L was accepted as insufficient.
RESULTS: The average serum vitamin D level was 176±79nmol/L in recurrent tonsillitis group and 193±56nmol/L in control group. There was no significant difference between the groups (p=0.13). In recurrent tonsillitis group, 18% (n=15) of children had their serum vitamin D levels below 80nmol/L. The vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism (APA1, TAQ 1, FOK 1) in each group was compared (AA, Aa, aa, TT, Tt, tt, FF, Ff, ff). There was no significant difference between the two groups. The vitamin D serum levels and receptor sub-genotypes are also compared, and there was no significant difference between the groups.
CONCLUSION: There is no difference between the serum vitamin D level and receptor gene polymorphism among children with recurrent tonsillitis and healthy children. But vitamin D insufficiency is more prevalent in children with recurrent tonsillitis group (18%).

Background: The exact etiology of recurrent tonsillopharyngitis in children is not clear. Recurrent tonsillitis in children has multifactorial etiology like most of the diseases in childhood. In this study, our aim was to determine the potential role of vitamin D in recurrent tonsillitis by measuring serum 25-OH vitamin D levels and determining the vitamin D receptor polymorphism among children with recurrent tonsillitis.
Methods: Eighty-four children with recurrent tonsillitis and seventy-one healthy children aging between 2 and 10 years were enrolled in this study. Serum 25-OH vitamin D level was measured with ELISA and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism (Apal, Taq 1, Fokl) was determined by PCR. Serum 25-OH vitamin D level below 50 nmol/L was accepted as deficiency. The vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism in each group was compared.
Results: The mean age was 5.6 ± 2.4 and 6.1 ±2.7 years in study and control group, respectively. The average serum 25-OH vitamin D level was 142.7±68.1 nmol/L in study group and 192.3 ±56.1 nmol/L in control group. There was significant difference between the groups (p < 0.01).
- In study group, 4.7% (n=4) of children had serum 25 OH vitamin D levels below 50 nmol/L.
- None of the children in control group had serum 25-OH vitamin D level below 50 nmol/L.
There was no significant differences in vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms between groups.
Conclusion: Serum 25-OH vitamin D levels in recurrent tonsillitis group were lower than those in healthy children. But, there was no difference in the incidence of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism between the two groups.
