 Can you get strep throat without tonsils?

Yes, you can. There is this misconception that once you get your tonsils removed, you’re immune to disease like strep, but this is not true. Your throat’s structure is what makes the difference. The back of your throat is surrounded by bands of tissue called Waldeyer’s ring. If these tissues get infected by the streptococcus bacteria, it can cause strep throat.
