techinically yes. since you still have a throat and perhaps even some tonsillar remnants that can harbor the strep bacteria. strep after a tonsillectomy is uncommon however.
can someone who has had their tonsils removed still get strep throat? . i realize strep is a bacterial infection and tonsilitis is viral but i'm still looking for a difinitive answer. can you get strep if your tonsils have been removed? . p. s. i'm good with a 1 word answer. <positive_smiley>
