EnlargedTonsilsAdeno: Your tonsils might be just enlarged.Just because Tonsils are enlarged does not mean this is caused by infection.Sometimes there is associated enlargement of adenoids as well.I advice you get it checked by your doctor at your next doctor's visit,or if pain gets worse or affects your speech,or swallowing

Yes: It very well could be strep yet again and is worth getting it looked at.
