Questionhi , i am an 18 yr old girl and i always get a throat infection or a strep throat for almost 2 years already. i probably had it 8 or 9 times and always treat it with antibiotics.(probably because i have leukopenia and get sick easily) this time is different. my throat and tonsils are RED and there is white pus (that looks like a white pimple) on my right tonsil. but the problem is that i DON'T feel any type of pain at all!and i didnt get a fever. what are your suggestions? should i take out my tonsils or is it something else that i have? thanks alot 4 your time.(if you cant answer this question, please send it to something who you think will know)by the way, i did a ''swab'' test for strep throat, it was negative.

strep throat;
its caused by the bacterium streptococcus pyogenes[group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus]. the bacteria spreads through airborne droplets or direct contact,such as touching contaminated doorknob or other surfaces.
although strep throat usually isnt dangerous,it may lead to complication. in which i am very concern with your case. getting so often,the antibiotics will not help you any more,so you keep on getting it over and over.
there is a few questions i have.
-what meds are you taking?
-everytime you have it and get over it,have you changed your tooth brush,or wash it in bleach?
please reply;
