there is a slight different view. my dad was a nurse and was told by a gp a a i am in the same situation as he was. both my dad (rip) and myself have had tonsils removed however you can get all of the tonsillitis symptoms without having tonsils. the only difference is where your tonsils were have the infection rather than the actual tonsils. it just means that it is easier for you to be able to take paracetamol ibuprofen and other pain relief along with fluids as you won't have tonsils there to restrict the ability to swallow as much.
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.
