I Am Concerned About The Relationship Between Mould Spores And Tonsillitis?

Hello, my 21 year old son has had severe tonsillitis twice in the last three months, but has not grown up with this problem. Our house downstairs was fully flooded by the Brisbane floods early January, and the carpet was not replaced straight away. I am concerned about the relationship between mould spores and his tonsillitis. He is a singer. thank you

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that the carpet that is in your house and you are suspicious about this so in my opinion the condition of tonsillitis of your son and the spore containing carpet in your house are nothing to do with each other, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
