A member asked:
My tonsils were removed. can i still get mono?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: The germs of mono do not care whether you have tonsils or not. If exposed and susceptible,they will enter your body through your mouth/throat and find tissue to invade. You may not have throat swelling as prominent as you would with tonsils, but being without them does not make you immune.
