I get Strep Throat ALOT. Should I get my tonsils out?

Okay, my mom had the same thing when she was my age. (13) She said that when she was 19 and just moved into her own place, she got it REALLY REALLY bad. She woke up the next morning and could barely breathe, she said it was like breathing through a tiny straw. She drove herself to the ER and they had to put a big long needle down her throat. She said she would see him pull the needle out and it was filled with puss and blood, and she had to sit there with a trash can just coughing up blood and junk. ( Sorry this is kinda nasty! ) But she would have died if they didn't do that. She said they told her that the minute the strep went away she needed to get in there and have her tonsils out. She never did, but she hasn't had it since. My main thing is that I'm worried mine will get bad like that one day and I don't want that to happen!! So should I get them out? Also, my doctor says I have "Cryptic tonsils" or something like that...

Oh, and I have strep right now, going to the doctor tomorrow. This is the worst it's ever been though.

YES get them out, i used to get strep throat constantly. like i'd just get over it and then i'd get it again. since i had my tonsils out i've probably had 3 sore throats over 10 years and they've never ever been as bad as they once were.
