First of all you need to be sure your problem is Tonsilitis. Depending on the symptoms you have you could have indicators of mononucleosis, Strep throat and many other illnesses. Following a thorough exam that may include a throat culture and blood work, a healthcare provider may prescribe medication for what you have or if in the case of Tonsilitis, the tonsils would have to be surgically removed if medication or other treatments are ineffective.

antibiotics will cure tonsillitis without surgery
but if your tonsils are there, they can become infected another time!
There is also a type of BAD tonsillitis you MUST have a procedure for called a "peritonsillar abscess" or "quinsy"

No. Sooner or later your tonsils will have to come out if they keep getting infection. Anti-biotics is a short-term solution.
