Suggest Treatment For Tonsils

Tonsil issues. I m a 23 year old female who s had problems with my tonsils for many years. larger than the average is what mine look like. They get swollen from time to time irritate me, get blisters on them & also this white/red bulk thing attached to it. Now this unknown thing to me, comes & goes. My dr couldn t really pin point it so they sent me to a ENT specialist. The ENT is going to remove them & send the bulky thing to get tested for cancer. Now he said that I didn t really think to much of it. So I made an appointment which I had to put off for school reasons. So the date as of now is unknown. I recently have been having this foamy mucus oozing out from what I think is my throat or tonsils. It s constant & just pours out I m always spitting out this foamy mucus & some phlegm. I have to sleep with my head to the side with a towel under because it just comes out. I don t know what s wrong. It just came pouring out a lot at diffrent times & really just causes great discomfort.
