Have Bad Breath, Spitting White, Foul Smelling Pus, Snoring. Should Tonsils Be Removed?

Hi my name is Cesar Lopez, When I was 14, I had a strong flu. Since the mucus did not stop, I started to swallow it. when the flu was finally over, i kept spiting phlegm and pus. After a short period, the phlegm were gone, however, to this day the pus and the spiting continues. I have gone to dozens of doctors, and no one has been able to help me in a serious way. Once I was told that the problem was in my mind. Today I am 32 and here is what I know: my tonsils are not that big, I have bad breath, every once in a while I spit white bad smelling gulps out of my tonsils specially when I am breathing heavily while doing exercise, and during the day and I spit every two or three minutes a mixture of transparent puss and saliva. During the night, I snore heavily and when I sleep face up I gargle all the time because of the accumulation of saliva and pus in my mouth. I am only happy when I am eating, then all symptoms seem to disappear . this sickness had ruin my life. I am seriously thinking about extracting my tonsils or find somebody who can really help me and not just rip me off from my hard ear money. thanks a lot ,I am sorry about the last sentence

the nw theory is against extracting the tonsils as if we remove tonsils it may lead to recrent chest infections
i think you are having chronic allergic sinusitis as there is post nasal drip of pus and mucus causin recurent sore throat and all bad breath and smell and nasal symptomps are the outcome of chronic sinusitis
if you get xray pns waters view and consult allergy aor ent specialist he can help to cure it on allergy guidelines which can clear all your problems
