[URL=http://s1280.photobucket.com/user/nonames4/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsf07d9ae4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a484/nonames4/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsf07d9ae4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I have been having issues with my tonsils for the past 2 month now. I got these clear fluid like bumps on my tonsils they make me feel like there s something constantly stuck in my throat. Last time I had this it last a month, went away but now it s back. Each time they showed up was after I got sick I noticed. I also cough and a little bit of thick phlem comes up each time. I went to the dr last time and he said it wasn t anything to worry about but I am worried.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are having recurrent tonsillitis.
The most common cause for this is viral Infection (influenza).
So I advice you to take adult influenza vaccination annually to prevent recurrent viral tonsillitis.
Surgery is also an option. Recurrent tonsillitis is an indication for surgery.
Tonsillectomy is the surgery needed for this.
So better to consult ENT doctor and discuss all these options.
I find this answer helpful
