"Tonsillitis" is caused by Streptococcus species bacteria. Sometimes kids - especially teens and preteens - just get tonsillitis frequently. Eventually they outgrow it. Many doctors no longer recommend tonsillectomies and haven't in several decades. However, there are a couple of factors that can increase the frequency of occurrence -
1. You get a prescription, then after a few days you "feel better" so you stop taking your medicine. THIS IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO! Every time you do this you leave some of the bacteria that are making you sick still alive - and make them more drug resistant and harder to kill. If the doctor gives you a prescription be sure to take every single pill - on time.
2. You might actually have infectious mononucleosis ("mono") rather than strep. If your health care provider is not specifically testing you for strep (with the "long" test done in the lab, not the quickie done in the office) every single time you get sick, then you might be being mis-diagnosed. Without a specific lab test mono is very easy to confuse with strep throat even by highly experienced physicians.
3. Cockroaches can carry strep, so if your home or school is infested then this might be the reason that you are having frequent outbreaks of strep.

Sometimes enlarged tonsils get infected frequently. So this should be ruled out through clinical examination by a doctor. Otherwise you should keep yourself warm,and your tonsils warm by drinking warm fluids and do not speak loud esp in cold weather.
