Do you think I should have my tonsils removed?

I'm scheduled to get surgery this Tuesday. Regardless if my tonsils get removed or not I have a deviated septum that needs to be fixed and some membranes in my nose are going to be shaved down cause they're larger than normal. I also have a cyst in my mouth behind my tonsils that is going to be removed. It started about two and a half months ago I got a sore throat that was pretty persistent and didn't go away. I was put on sever different antibiotics and finally it subsided after two months. The ENT says my tonsils are a little larger than normal but that wasn't a reason to have them removed. He didn't plan on removing them but I asked if they could be. He is hesitant on doing it if it don't need to be done. But he will do it if he thinks I have a problem with sore throats. He asked if I get frequent sore throats but I really don't keep track of things like that since they were never as severe as last. I had got the swine flu and after I was over it that's when I got the long persistent sore throat. He said the reason why it probably lasted so long was it was probably reminiscent of the flu and my immune being down or a precursor for future ones that would be more severe so I'm stuck not knowing if I should remove them. And he pretty much left the decision up to me. Whats your opinion? He says he would rather remove them now if I feel I'm going to have more problems with my throat but don't want to remove them just to do it either. I'm so confused on what to do?
