I had mine out and it didn't do much for me however I do know that it can help and if you go under one you will flare. Everyone's journey is different but I suggest getting them out because if strep is hiding there it could cause a bigger problem.

I’ve heard tonsillectomies are a game-changer for some PANDAS patients (haven’t had one myself)
