Did you have more than one set of tonsiles removed? There are three sets:
1.Palatine tonsils-located on each side of throat
2.Pharyngeal tonsils-located near posterior opening of nasal cavity
3.Lingual tonsils-located near base of the tongue
There are other lymph organs that will take over the job: thymus and various lymph nodes.
