Strep Throat 4 times past 2 months.

by elly311, Jun 29, 2009 06:00PM
The past 2 months I have had strep 4 times. I woke up this morning with a sore throat. Now I have strep again for the 5th time. Along with strep, I have had constant ear aches and migraines.

I was wondering if I would be a good candidate for a tonsillectomy?

By the way. I am only 13.

Have you taken antibiotics every time?  Was it confirmed you had strep with a culture?  My opinion is that too many antibiotics does nto allow your body to build up its own antibodies and you continually fall victim to the same ailment, in this case strep.  Or the strep can can become resistant.  I would start taking some supplements to increase your own immune system.  Vitamin C, Astragulus, Vit, D, echinacia(dont take for more than a week), lots of fruit and veggies and water, sunshine.  Good luck.
