Hello,

Thanks for posting your query,

Hope you are doing great today.

Well they exist various remedies for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection which is a germ that basically affects the stomach but could also affect the entire gut.
The treatment of H. pyroli involves either triple or quadruple therapy which involves use of:
- Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as omeprazole, lansoprazole etc
- Clarithromycin
- Amoxicillin
- Or Metronidazole
Your doctor should be the one to decide on the combinations and the duration.
If your tonsils persistently block your airway, then a surgical procedure to remove the tonsils (tonsillectomy) will be performed after surgical evaluation by a surgeon.
So if the symptoms persist, I suggest a surgical consult as soon as possible.

hope this helps
