Can I still get tonsillitis after having my tonsils removed?
Tonsillitis is the infection of the tonsils, so you can’t get tonsillitis after having them removed. However, there are other lymph nodes and tissues in the throat that can still get infected (such as the adenoids), so you may still get a sore throat or throat infection. In some cases, the adenoids will also be removed during a tonsillectomy.
