A member asked:

Why am i still getting sick even after my tonsilectomy which i had on april 21 st. i have had numerous high fevers and came down with thrush.

Need more info: Do not know what you mean by "getting sick". In addition, thrush can occur after being treated with antibiotics, or could conceivably represent immune deficiencies. You need to see a doctor and have this fully evaluated. Good luck.
