A member asked:
Why do my tonsils look so different and mangled after strep throat? is that normal? also, will it make me more vulnerable to other strep infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post infection : Your tonsils were infected with a powerful bacterium. They have recovered and are now repairing themselves. If they become scarred in the healing process, you may be more vulnerable to reinfection. Most of the time they heal and life goes on.
