Hello

Yes, getting your tonsils removed by surgery seems to be a good option at present , since you are constantly exposed to children and will easily keep getting the infection from them. Please discuss this with your ent doctor, for the time being , you can start gargling with warm salt water 2-3 times a day , it will help.

Thanks
