Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear until unless examination is done it is difficult to tell what is the cause for your problem. There may be tonsillitis or Adenoid hypertrophy or malignancy may be the possibility. So please consult your Ent surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.
Take care
