Suggest Better Treatment For Swelling In Throat

I have had swelling in my throat for three months, a round of antibiotics and steriods help and reduced it for three weeks. It is now back again left side feels more swollen than left. I do have crypts in tonsils and had a small stone come out, I also see pearl sized ones under the skin on the tonsils. However swelling is unbearable, voice has changed, also lots of post nasal drip.

Depending on the results we will treat tonsillitis, your having post nasal discharge also it may be due to chronic sinusitis. Use decongestant and stream inhalation.
