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.
