i have had a sore throat right side and sometimes a bit of an ear ache for 9 months, now my tongue is also feeling sore, ent visits and cat scan say everything seems ok, The ent says he can remove the tonsils and it may cure discomfort, at 61 years old not excited about the maybe part of it, alsoo tried a 3 week course of antibiotics, thinking about a second opinion, do these symptoms sound like tonsils or is there another course of action beyond surgery that might help?
