Welcome to HCM
THis is Dr Amit. In my opinion you should go for the Tonsillectomy (Removal of tonsil) as you are having recurrent infections of tonsil which is one of the absoulute indication for Tonsillectomy.
The germs that cause viral and bacterial tonsillitis are contagious. Therefore, the best prevention is to practice good hygiene so
1.Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, especially after using the toilet and before eating
2.Avoid sharing food, drinking glasses or utensils
3.Drink plenty of fluids.
4.Gargle with warm salt water several times a day.
5.Use a humidifier to moisten the air in your home.
6.Avoid smoke.
