Ok, may be a silly question but...

Can you still get a sore throat after having your tonsils removed? DD1 had hers out last August, she has come down with a cold and is complaining of a sore throat!! So what's making it sore?

[Bomper]

!!

Having your tonsils out doesn't mean you won't get infections, it just means your tonsils won't get infected.

[Bomper]

So, what's infected down there then? Just mildly curious.

Inflammation can make it sore, she can still get a sore throat with a cold/the flu, she just won't necessarily get tonsilitis (unless they didn't remove all of the tonsil which has been known).

[FlamingoBingo]

Um...her throat?

[cocolepew]

I had mine out a couple of years ago and the middle of my throat now gets sore IYSWIM, not the sides.

[LIZS]

if they are anything like mine (which haven't been removed) I have a lot of scar tissue and roughness from past infections along the throat itself.

Yes, if she has a sore throat, then she has a sore, um, throat.

It could be the back of her tongue, roof of her mouth, edge of her oesophagus/trachea, any, all of the above.
