There is controversy as to whether a Tonsillectomy will stop chronic tonsillitis(which includes strep throat).
Basically, tonsillectomy = less cases of tonsillitis. If you don't have the tonsils, then you can't get the virus/infection on them.
I had 4 cases of strep in a matter of 3 months, and had horrible bouts of tonsillitis when I was younger, so my tonsils were taken out last year.
Funny thing is, I am currently suffering from "tonsillitis". My doctor told me that no matter what is there, that area in general is the perfect place for bacteria to set up shop.
The pain from tonsillitis/strep is also less when you don't have tonsils anymore, since the inflammation isn't as great, and there are less chances of your breathing becoming impaired.
