                        I just had my tonsils out yesterday, Sept. 2 because of recurret strep infections.  I have had strep seven times in the past year.  I have a 22 month old son who has gotten strep everytime I have.  My tonsils were not enlarged, but very scarred and apparantly harboring the virus.  The Dr. seems to think that this will prevent my son having to get his tonsils out,but I m tellng you...it is rough!
