Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are suggestive of chronic tonsillitis. For this reason, I would recommend performing periodically every 6 months a throat bacterial culture and checking ASO titer in your blood. A possible solution would be surgical resection of your tonsils. Consulting with an ENT specialist is necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
