Answers:
I got my tonsils out last month, and I had to meet very specific criteria!. You have to have had 6 or more throat infections within the past year that required antibiotics to fix, or 4 or more of those infections per year for the past two years!. You have to have a documented history of multiple tonsilitis or strep infections!. As much as being sick like you describe is very uncomfortable, painful, and exhaustive, you don't want to undergo any unnecessary surgery!.

Also, what you are experiencing sounds less like a throat problem and more like something involving your lungs!. the coughing and the pain when you breathe would not be because of an infection in your tonsils, but because of an infection within your respiratory system (probably lower down)!. I would recommend that you see a doctor, to get a prescription for some antibiotics (if they think it's bacterial) or at least some better cough syrup to help with the pain and coughing!.

Docs normally want to see documented tonsillitis at least 4 times in 12 months, and a sore throat isn't necessarily tonsillitis!. Lost voice is laryngitis, which can also occur without having a sore throat but is usually connected to having one!. You'll find it helps to also take an antihistamine/decongestant because that'll help with the postnasal drainage and stuffy nose!. Take the cough syrup if your cough is so severe it causes vomiting or is keeping you awake at night, or if you pee your pants when you cough; otherwise, a cough suppressant isn't really needed, and if you are a smoker you need to cough!. Get plenty of rest, eat chicken noodle soup, take Tylenol and the other meds as needed, and you'll soon be over this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have sore throats, ALL the freakin time!. All you do is go to your doctor and they will give you antibiotics!. IF you continuously have sore throats like that, they will recommend you getting your tonsils removed!. Once they do that, they will also most likely recommend you to an ear, nose, and throat doctor [they perform the surgeries] The ear, nose, and throat docs normally are the ones who say they need to come out, or not!. The surgery is fine it's an in-out procedure, and depending upon your age is how long you will recover!. The suckiest thing about it, is that when they say "You can eat all the ice cream and jello you want!.!.!." For me, that was a lie, I basically starved for 3-weeks, but everyone heals and reacts differently!. The best thing to look forward to is the liquid pain killers they will give you!. =] Once they heal, sore throats will not exist as often as they do now! =]
