Tonsillitis
The tonsils swell because they're part of the immune system - which is fighting off the infection.
Your tonsils swell up and might have a white film on them in dots
because you play to hard or you sleep on it
Tonsils are lymph glands that are located in the throat. Tonsils can swell due to inflammation and/or infectious bacteria or viruses.

His tonsillitis and the enlarged tonsils it causes may have disappeared. His tonsils may now have shrunk to their normal smaller size.
No, they are just less likely to become inflamed having to be removed.

I have gotten my tonsils removed and yes you can still get strep throat. Although you get it not as easy and it will not be as much of a miserable experience. As you could imagine not having tonsils that also swell up. Plus you get to chill in a hospital and eat ice cream... Now that is bomb.
