If you set up a: virtual consult with one our doctors, we can refer you to an ENT surgeon for a second opinion. Recurrent strep infections, especially those accompanied by scarlet fever, valvular heart disease or kidney involvement, as well as tonsil infections complicated by abscess formation, are among the conditions in which benefit of tonsillectomy outweigh risks. You should complete TB treatment first.
