A member asked:
I've got tonsallitus several times is that normsl? any advise to prevent it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tonsillectomy: Recurrent tonsillitis is neither "normal" nor "abnormal"... It's just you. There's really not much you can do to prevent it other than general hygeine to prevent upper respiratory infections (cold) - wash your hands, minimize touching your face. If you want maximal prevention... Then have your tonsils removed.
