Suggest Treatment For Tonsillitis Relapse.
Ive had several cases of a sore throat over the last few months they have gone away with self treatment. This time i have a bad cough and difficulty swallowing. Ive had tonsillitis before if this is it again will i be able to have them removed? I work with children and its becoming a problem in my working life.

Hello
Yes, getting your tonsils removed by surgery seems to be a good option at present , since you are constantly exposed to children and will easily keep getting the infection from them. Please discuss this with your ent doctor, for the time being , you can start gargling with warm salt water 2-3 times a day , it will help.
