A member asked:
I have been having a sore throat for a month, and had a tonsilectomy back in october, could possibly have strep again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Best to get checked, as even with a history of a tonsillectomy, you can still get a "strep" pharyngitis 'throat infection.'.
