    I just felt like I was just pushed on an antibiotic again to address the issue instead of getting down to the root problem of why I keep contracting strep throat so much. This was my 4th occurrence in 4 months. I don't like taking antibiotic to just cover this issue, I want to heal my body so I don't keep getting this illness. I tried to ask if there was a way to going around the Paradise criteria to have my tonsils removed, because I'm not comfortable continually taking these antibiotics. But I was basically told no because insurance wouldn't cover it. Having worked in the medical field previously, know that there a loopholes to things. I just would have liked more options than another round of medication.
