Brief Answer:
Follicular tonsillitis...

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

It would be very helpful if you could mail us the images of the throat.

As per your history, I do presume, you could be having follicular tonsillitis. In many of the conditions, the follicles remain even after the completion of the antibiotic course and the inflammation has completely subsided. Do not worry! That's perfectly normal.

The post nasal drip could be either related to the acid reflux or sinus discharge. The latter clears off with steam inhalation while the former requires proton pump inhibitors.

Drink plenty of warm water; avoid fizzy drinks/coffee/chilled food and beverages.

Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
