ENT Specialist 's  Response
I think you are suffering from chronic tonsillitis. oral antibitics like clarithromycin 500mg twice daily for 5 days along with chlorhexidin mouth wash for 15 days will help. avoid ice creams, chilled food. If problem persists even after your controlled food habits better go tonsillectomy surgery.
