Hello,
Tonsils are tissue in our body to supprot for the immune system they can not be damaged . Yes due to any infection they might get swollen up or get red or congesated.
YOu need to take antibiotic for controlling the infection and then later you need to prevent from the infection .
in the very first episode of infection is not an indication for surgery. Take antibiotics .
