A member asked:
I had tonsillitis several times and had a case for 3 months so got a tonsillectomy about a month ago but now am having similar symptoms to tonsillitis?

See your ENT: There are several issues to look at in this situation. You can still get a strep throat infection without tonsils but it is uncommon. A strep culture will help to see if this is the problem. Also, it will be important to search for other causes such as a virus,, post-nasal drip or silent reflux.
