My 9 Year Old Son Has Had Positive Strep Cultures

My 9 year old son has had positive strep cultures on every exam. I asked if he might have strep colonization and she said he might. Then she said something about possible surgery to remove tonsils due to a rare chance of heart damage. Can someone explain how that would happen.
