Answers:
They now have new criteria for removal of tonsils.
They will remove them for frequent episodes of strep throat and if they are so large that they cause sleep apnea.
If you have had a sore throat for over 48 hours, particularly if you have no other symptoms, have a strep throat culture done at your doctor.
