"You'll never have tonsillitis again" would have done nicely as a motivator
This was me! It was a scary concept, but 'the end of your endless rounds of strep throat' was a pretty good reason to go along with it.
I do remember having a general sense that ice cream (in the more specific definition) was going to feature in my recovery - via stories and shows; not sure if it was directly promised to me -- where that happened. And I was quite miffed when it turned out I wasn't allowed ice cream, only sherbet/popsicles! (Apparently milk + open thorat wounds = higher risk of infection? So no frozen milk-based things were allowed.)
