Hi,
Yes, it's possible, swab examination can tell need of medicine but prophylactically 5 days Ampicillin is advisable, betadine gargles few times a day, little bit immunity is effected after tonsillectomy, learn some breathing exercises like sky or yoga makes less chances to be sick or sore throat.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
