Anyone know much about tonsillitis?

I'm glad you're going. It took me ages to even get an ENT appt, your doc wouldn't make one if she didn't think it was worthwhile.

I had tonsillitis 5 times in one year, and then 9 times the next (9 times before March) and the doctor only gave me a referral when I threatened to take them out myself.

i am actually really embarrassed that i ever started this thread. i took him to the appointment on friday and he has been classed as category 2 and is on the waiting list for a tonsillectomy. he is really unwell again today and i think it might be tonsillitis

I had my tonsils out at 30 after 6 years of really bad health - mostly because the general consensus is that you no longer have them out and that is from many a GP's perspective. It was only after getting a great GP who referred me to an ENT on a whim that I got sorted. Well done for checking it out I reckon. xx
