[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 401743, member: 84"] You can get strep with or without tonsils. omg lol Ok, so it's not funny really but some things that people believe just boggle the mind. If it's possible he has strep he needs sent home and his mom needs to be told to stop exposing her child to well children if he does indeed have strep throat. geez Now I will say that when easy child was a young child she went back and forth from ear infections to strep throat, regardless of any precautions I took. By the time she was 8 there wasn't even a space of time between infections, poor kid. Fed up, I hunted down a pediatrician doctor who would remove her tonsils. Why? Because her tonsils were ALWAYS swollen so severely she had at best a pencil size opening into her throat, at worst a pin size hole, neither normal. She had developed sleep apnea as well. Once her tonsils were removed, I think she had one case of strep throat. Ear infections stopped completely. Why? doctor said the infection had settled in her tonsils and she never really got over it. Swollen tonsils caused drainage from the nose to back up into the inner ear causing the ear infections. Hence the never ending cycle. So I can see how the woman "assumed" her conclusion I suppose, but still.......... ugh [/QUOTE]
