Thank you all. The doc did say she needs to have them taken out and we will do that, but we cannot until we get the current infection under control. I am just frustrated for her that we've been putting up with our family doctor telling us it was viral and doing nothing for her while the infection in her throat was raging out of control and getting worse for 3 weeks. Apparently, they don't know that your tonsills CAN be infected without strep or mono being the cause and it takes specific antibiotics to take care of it. They made me feel like a first time mom when I just knew she needed more help than they were giving. She was on the verge of needing to be hospitalized for tonsillitis! Who gets hospitalized over tonsillitis these days????
