Short answer: Yes, you can still get strep pharyngitis when your tonsils were removed when younger.
Many organisms (viral and bacterial) can cause a sore throat or pharyngitis; most acute pharyngitis infection is due to a virus. Strep pharyngitis, however, is due to a bacteria and is treated with an antibiotic to prevent negative sequela.
Your tonsils are apart of your immune system; they are two lymph nodes which can become inflamed and enlarged with infection. During a tonsillectomy, tonsils are removed; however, some tonsillar tissue may still remain and over time, it is possible for tonsillar tissue to "regrow" or regenerate.
If you are experiencing a worsening sore throat with or without exudate, especially, if you are experiencing a persistent fever and/or decrease fluid intake, then it is strongly recommend that you are seen and evaluated by your physician as soon as possible.

Can I do anything to stop my child from wetting the bed?

Bedwetting, "or sleep wetting, is nocturnal (nightime) enuresis. Enuresis
runs in families. This means that if you urinate, or pee, while you are
asleep, there is a good chance that a close relative also did it when he or
she was a kid.....Almost all kids who wet the bed eventually stop and until
he or she stops there are things you can do to stay dry." KidsHealth.org
It is a good idea to see your pediatrician to develop a program that
restrains the brain to do one of two things: 1. Wake you up so you can go
to the bathroom ( ie use of bed alarms) and 2. Stay asleep and hold it
until morning (ie bladder exercises, such as waiting a little longer to per
during the day, reading about and imagining staying dry).
What is concerning about your question is that your 8 year old "suddenly
started wetting the bed." I would again strongly encourage you to take your
child to his/her pediatrician for an evaluation. Has there been a change
and/or new stressors in your child's environment at home or school? Or
there any other symptoms that your child is experiencing? These are
questions that can be addressed with a visit with your pediatrician.
