[quote=Anonymous]My ds had strep 8 times in one calendar year, two ENTs said no to tonsil removal. He was then on a rotating course of antibiotics (Zithromax for 7 days then amoxicillin for 3 weeks) for 6 months because his strep antibodies were too high and it was causing neurological issues...they still had him keep his tonsils. You can ask the ped at the next visit, but a few random viruses that aren’t even strep aren’t likely to warrant removal, and tonsil removal won’t prevent a sore throat. Tonsils don’t hurt, it’s the surrounding throat tissue that causes pain. [/quote]
