Can you describe more about your pain? Is it constant or does it occur episodically? Any fever? Do you have any allergies, cold/cough or any stomach upset? Tonsil removal should be considered only when tonsillitis can be established as a cause of your pain and when medicines fail to give a relief.
Next Steps
Online/Physical consultation with ENT specialist
Health Tips
Frequent salt water gargles
