Yes if you got your tonsils removed you can still get strep throat. But it is less likley. But it can still happen.

No connection. Strep isn't an infection exclusive to the pharyngeal tonsils.

Strep throat is caused by streptococcus and can happen whether you have tonsils or not.

strep is an opportunistic infection and strikes whether you have tonsils or not.
