Oh man sorry to hear that. I got strep throat a lot as a kid, a teenager, and an adult, but nobody mentioned anything about my tonsils. The doctors here are terrible. Either way, I hope your surgery goes well. That's awful about sensitive teeth too. I have that problem as well, and mine also have holes in them.  Take care!  |

It's called Streptococcal pharyngitis over here in Australia, streptococcal tonsillitis, or streptococcal sore throat (known colloquially as strep throat) is a type of pharyngitis caused by a group A streptococcal infection. It affects the pharynx including the tonsils and possibly the larynx.I had Tonsilitis every time one of my kids got it and once they had them removed I stopped getting it...when the doc mentioned I might need mine removed, I thought yeah, pigs might fly!!! I wish you well and hope all turns out okay for you   |

Strep is a type of bacteria that actually causes a LOT of infections, all throughout the body, so it's not too surprising to have it in your tonsils! Hopefully your tonsillectomy goes well! I nearly had mine out when I was a little kid, before they determined that they were getting inflamed by my milk allergy.  |

I got strep for the first time right after my youngest was born. It was awful. I have asthma too, so they were giving me breathing treatments. They put some numbing agent in it the second time, and I reacted to it. My throat closed right up lol.  |

If you have to have your tonsils out, then this might be such an easy (relative) treatment for these rounds of strep you have been going through. When I was a kid, I remember the horrific time my dad had with strep throat. He lost jobs because of his sick time and he was in agonizing pain. He had his tonsils out decades before, so it wasn't due to that. The doctors finally just threw up their hands and said he needed to uproot his family and move to a dry hot climate. We all hated Phoenix, but it helped his strep. Good luck to ya !!!  |

Ginger I really hope the tonsillectomy cures my reoccurring strep. We're not leaving NC, I'll have to suffer through bouts of it. I'm pretty nervous about it. SmoknJoe gave me his horror story. He said that I wouldn't be able to eat or drink for days because I'd be too sore, or he was anyway. I'm thinking the won't be able to eat for days isn't that bad, I've really been wanting to lose weight, and if that is what it takes..... Lol I should be getting the call from the ENT this week for my appt. Maybe I won't have to get them took out. Hey, a girl can hope. Right?  |
