HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having frequent, severe sore throats then you may be candidate for tonsil removal.
This should be discussed with your doctor who may refer you to an ENT specialist for assessment.
For this particular infection, your doctor can assess you and determine if antibiotics are needed.
I hope this helps
