Expert opinion from Rajesh Mishra

Some kids get tonsillitis. Or infected tonsils, again and again. A new study found that strep, a germ that causes tonsillitis, can trick the body's immune system. Because of the trick, the body's immune cells kill each other, rather than the germ.
Expert opinion from Daniel A. Foster

Chronic tonsillitis can occur if you have an infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria or if your immune system is not working properly. If you've been exposed to radiation, you may have a higher risk of developing chronic tonsillitis.
Expert opinion from Ilya Aleksandrovskiy

Tonsillitis keep coming back due to weakend immune system, antibiotic resistant bacterial strain or a non-symptomatic carrier of strep bacteria in the family.
