A member asked:

11 year old male,fever,chills,headache, no runny nose or cough. tonsils has been removed 5years ago.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Basics: This pattern is common to a number of viral & some bacterial infections. Removal of tonsils does not end the risk of strep A infections. There are always remnants of tonsil like glandular material in the back of the throat. It just makes them less intense when they occur.
