Pharyngitis: I assume you are speaking about a sore throat or "streptococcal pharyngitis". Blood testing should first be performed to ensure your immune system is working appropriately. In some cases, a "tonsillectomy" or removal of your tonsils helps stop recurrent streptococcal infections. Speak with your doctor or an ear, nose and throat specialist.

Tonsillectomy.: If you have had strep throat 7 or more times in one year, your doctor will usually consider performing a tonsillectomy. This makes it less likely to get strep, but some individuals still get strep throat even after their tonsils have been removed.
