Hi

Thank you for your query on HCM

I understood your concern about the condition about your tonsils. As per the said symptoms , it might be the recurrence of tonsillitis. Since it recurred and cause you difficulty in swallowing,Tonsillectomy should be carried out.
Tonsillectomy is the surgical procedure carried out to remove tonsil.

However direct clinical examination is required for a right diagnosis. Consult an E.N.T surgeon and get an opinion about the same and get appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Wish you a good health
Thank you
