Brief Answer:
chronic infection of tonsils.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,thanks for your query.
In my opinion, you have chronic infection of your tonsils.
When ever you eat cold or oily items, you tonsils get infected by bacteria ,and it is treated with
antibiotics.
there is no other medicines apart from antibiotics to treat infection.
if the throat infection is very frequent, and you want a permanent cure, then go for tonsillectomy surgery and get your tonsils operated and removed.
this is only solution.
You can consult ent specialist regarding this, and discuss my views with him.
Hope my answers have helped you.thanks.

Brief Answer:
chronic infection of tonsils.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for the follow up query.
Chronic infection of tonsils is repeated infection of tonsils more than 3 episodes in 6 months.
yes infection once in 2 months is not a healthy sign.
it suggests your tonsils are unhealthy and weak and susceptable for infection by bacteria easily.

When ever you eat cold items or oily foods,this causes congestion of throat which predispose for the growth of bacteria,and thus causes infection.
I have no idea regarding medicines in ayurveda and homeopathy to treat tonsil infection.
but there are medicines to improve your immunity.
consult your doctor regarding this.
in chronic infection of tonsil, repeated usage of antibiotics are not advisable.
its better to operate and remove the tonsil.
hope i have answered your queries.
