hi.. you had tonsillitis and cough with noisy breathing.. this suggests bronchoconstriction due to allergy (allergic bronchitis)... you are treated with appropriate antibiotics, but you need bronchodilators also.. aviod exposure to dust cold air or any allergen.. see your physician for this.. all the very best..
