Are you experiencing frequent bouts of sore throat with swollen and painful tonsils (or tonsillitis)? Do you have tonsil stones (tonsilliths)?
Recurrent tonsillitis can be distressing for both children and adults. If you are needing frequent courses of antibiotics for tonsil infections, it may be time for a tonsillectomy.

While tonsillitis is usually caused by a virus, bacteria can sometimes be responsible.
The most common type of bacteria causing tonsillitis is Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus). Exposure to people with a tonsil infection from this type of bacteria can lead to recurrent tonsillitis.
Recurrent tonsillitis is when a person has tonsillitis multiple times in a year Though recurrent tonsillitis is more common in children, adults can also experience it. Treatment ranges from rest and medication to surgery performed to remove infected tonsils (tonsillectomy).
