General Surgeon 's  Response

Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of granular pharyngitis, hazy sinuses on X-rays and white patches.
I would suggest you the following:
First of all, get a CT scan of the sinuses done to know the exact problems the sinuses have. This is important as the infection from the sinuses has to be cured before then only the throat infection will get settled.
Take an opinion of an ENT Surgeon so that you have the proper opinion and further investigations, surgery and medicines whichever is needed to get control over.
This will cure your granulation in the throat.
Locally sometimes they need to be cauterized.
Till then stop fried and sour foods and beverages.
Take warm fluids in small quantity but frequently.
