Hi

This is the 4th time this year that I've gotten Bacterial Tonsillitis- I've been tested for glandular fever and it's negative. Anyways it's back again and all the other times the doctor has given me antibiotics. He said that he cannot keep prescribing them to me because it just seems to be coming back. What will they do next? Will they remove them? I needed to know fast because I have my A-Level exams in a week.

Thank you

    What ended up happening ? I have been on antibiotics off and on for the past 4 months and I am going back to my Dr tomorrow.

      I'm so sorry, I have only just seen this. In the time it took me to reply I actually got tonsillitis again and they just prescribed me antibiotics again, no talk of removing them at all

    Get your tonsils removed.  When I was a kid ALL kids had them removed, it was routine, the thought was that they get infected so easily and they are not needed anymore with our sanitary conditions vastly improved, they were just a problem waiting to happen and removal is easy.

    Have they done a swab for strep? It can linger on in the cells. In bowel.

    Good luck with exams
