Hello, Our 3yr old boy has had 3 lots of tonsillitis, all within a 2 month period. As antibiotics appear to have worked each time within 5 days or so, the cause would appear to be a bacterium rather than a virus. We have a domestic swimming pool, correctly chlorinated, temp about 27-28C, and each illness started within 1-2 days of him having a splash in the pool. Is it possible for something in the pool to be causing this? I could "try it" for a 4th time, but he really suffers and it looks like there is a good correlation. However, I use the pool a lot, with no ill effects. I can drain the pool but don't want to do it unnecessarily as it costs about $300 in water to refill. Any feedback is much appreciated. Please copy reply by e-mail. Thank you. Peter.
