i had my tonsils removed when i was 4 and as an adult had tonsillitis many times as my doctor didn't remove my tonsils beds. i have been asked by doctors if i was sure it was my tonsils that were removed as symptoms so obvious. later on in life (i am now over 40) i have heard doctors say it isn't that uncommon.
can a person get tonsilitis if they nolonger have tonsils. my son had tonsilitis. tonsilitis is a viral infection and does not require an antibiotic. however tonsilitis can be caused by strep which is bacterial which requires an antibiotic. dr did't do a strep test but perscribed an antibiotic. a few days after he got better i developed an extremely sore throat runny nose caughing headache no fever. tonsilitis symptoms. can i get tonsilitis if i had my tonsils removed? if i have a strep infection will my immune system fight it off.
