ENT Specialist 's  Response
dear

you have chronic tonsillitis . Problem with this is you will get repeated throat infection and if tonsils are quite huge they will obstruct airway and produce snoring. if you are getting repeated throat infection that is 5-6 times a year go for surgery if no then maintain oral hygiene. do the salt water gargling 2-3 times a day
