Can you get Strep Throat as a teenager, even if have gotten both you r tonsils and adenoids removed?Ohk, my brother has strep throat, and he has just found out today. Right now, I feel like I have an itchy throat. Can I still get Strep Throat, even though I dont have my tonsils or adenoids?
Patricia S
YES!
Jordan P
Yes, but only if you are dehydrated. I got mine out a year ago, and i have had 1 case of strep. so suck on a Jolly Rancher and drink plenty of water.
coquinegra
of course.
in fact, it may be easier to get since the tonsil and adenois are immue organs.
you have a throat, so you can get strept throat (pharyngitis)

Question #1: It's possible but the occurrence is less likely.
Question #2: See Question #1.
"Jordan P" is mistaken. It's not a result of dehydration. It's a result of infection!
"coquinegra" is also mistaken. It is not easier to get strep after a T & A, it's MORE unlikely to get it.
