Yes. In fact you are more likely to get it, since the tonsils which protect you from throat infections have been removed.

Of course, there is a difference between strep throat and tonsillitis. Strep throat is the inflammation of the throat, tonsils have nothing to do with it

no, becuase strep throat is when a person experiences white spots on the back of there throat, fever, and generalized flu like feeling. Tonsils are on the sides of your throat and are a different body part with different illinesses.

Yes...strep throat is NOT an infection of the tonsils, its an infection of the throat. You should be on anti-biotics if you have it.

Absolutely. The problem is in the throat - even though the tonsils may have been removed.
