They know when you end up with strep one too many times or what you just explained!. You should call your doctor!. More than likely you will be scheduled for a tonsillectomy real soon!.!.!. FYI strep untreated can affect other body parts including the kidneys!. My daughter got ill and the doctor said she didn't have strep just a cold!. Strep went untreated for a month!. She became really ill a month later!. I took her to the ER she had strep and they actually found out that her first strep was positive!.!. It attacked her kidneys and now she has kidney diseaseWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your condition sounds like it requires a tonsillecotomy!. Unremitiing tonsillitis is a clear indication for tonsillectomy!. Other typical indications for your tonsils to be removed include, more than 4 episodes in a year, more than 3 episodes a year for 2 years!. Asymmetrical tonsils, enlarged tonsils causinf snoring and a few other uncommon indications!. Go see an ENT doctor, he'll be able to determine if you need them removed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To be honest you should go to the doctors I heard something like you have to have three tonsil infections in a row to have the tonsils out!. So if you have been suffering the past six months or so you need to go to the doc's to sort it out - the quicker you go the better you will get!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need them removed! BIG TIME!. It happened to me and I almost passed out because I couldn't breathe because they do close on you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

go see a doc now!Www@Answer-Health@Com
