No. The tonsils are the things that are causing you to get sore throats. See, you tonsils rub against your throat when they are too big, causing a sore throat. When you get them removed the sore throats go away.

Can you get strep throat when you don't have tonsils?
They can - tonsils are part of the throat, but do not comprise all of your throat. Since even if your tonsils are taken out, the rest of your throat remains, so you can still acquire an abscess on it.

Can you get tonsillitis without tonsils?
Yes you Can! Matter of fact at this very moment i have a case of tonsillitus! I had my tonsils taken out when i was 5 years old. But about at the age of 17 i started to get these soar throats and as i was curious i looked down my throat with a flash light and saw a white spot on my throat. Went to the doctor and he had said i had tonsillitus, but i didnt have any tonsils! anyways it usually works it self out in about a week. the white puss moves out and the cavity heals up. See when you get your tonsils removed there is still tonsil tissue lieft behind. In this tonsil tissue it sets up shop and you get a sore throat. In most cases now after my third bout of tonisillitus without tonsils, if you message the throat area where the absess is you can "pop" it out. Quickly wash out your throat after and you feel perfectly fine.
Does your throat still hurts if you get your tonsils out?
Ya it does hurt for a while. But your doctor should prescribe you pain medications. Also if you get your tonsils removed you throat will become all scabbed up, but the scabbs fall off within a week or so. But the scabs make it uncumfortable when you swallow because of the texture. But with the meds, it shouldn't be that painful. And you will sleep alot, the medicine makes you very sleepy.
