About Tonsils
The tonsils are two masses of tissue that lie at the back of the throat. During the fifties tonsils were routinely removed during childhood. Tonsillectomies are now more rare.
About Sore Throat
A sore throat can be a symptom of several diseases, from the common cold to diseases that are more serious. If you think it might be strep throat, it's a good idea to see a doctor right away, as it will require antibiotics, and strep throat is very contagious.
