Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
IF she has frequent bouts of tonsillitis, then her doctors can consider whether she is a candidate for tonsillectomy.
Tonsillectomy is considered if a person has at least 7 infections in the previous year or at least 5 in each of the two previous years.
You can speak to her doctor about this option.
I hope this helps
