[edit] Some

Some discussion about the current medical view of removing of the tonsils as a pre-emptive means of decreasing how frequently people get sick with a cold and/or flu, and how effective this is, would be of interest to me. Electrosoccertux 18:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Tonsils store microbies which helps prevent dental caries (streptococcus mutans). Only if one gets right bacteria from (usually) parents. (This is merely a hypothesis. Non proven V.O.P) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.150.82.190 (talk) 07:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image Has Tonsil Stone

Has anyone else noticed that the image for this article includes quite a healthy tonsil stone? Am I the only one that thinks this is disgusting? We need to replace this image ASAP with a picture of a throat with better hygeine; this is just unacceptable. Would a picture of an anus with a smear of feces be acceptable for the anus entry? I think not. Trollaxor (talk) 15:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Squamous cell carinoma

Should this line (squamous cell carinoma) say squamous cell carcinoma? Thought it was a simple spelling mistake but am not very knowledgable in this area... please advise. --Marshmellis (talk) 04:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC) your right. i've changed it.Oakleysmith (talk) 20:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
