Removal of adnoids and tonsils

My 4.5 year daughter has had some problems with nasal infections, after treating with antibiotics with not big improvement, the doctor suggested that she might need to have her adnoids removed.
But he also suggested she should have her tonsils removed at the same time, kind of kill both birds with one stone.  I do wonder whether this is necessary.  Her tonsils are enlarged but I don't want to take them out if that's not absolutely necessary to improve her condition.
Please let me know what you think.  She's booked for the procedure in October but the tonsils part makes me really uncomfortable.
