A member asked:

How do we avoid or get immunity on frequent throat infections or sore throat.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check throat with MD: Please have your pediatrician evaluate his tonsils and depending on frequency of throat infections throuth out the year... There is a possibility to have tonsils removed and eventfully prevent recurrent throat infections. The size of the tonsils matter into making a dicision in removing the tonsils.
