"chronic tonsilitis"? does that even exist?

Last year I got sick twice during the fall/winter. The gland things right under my jaw swelled up, and my tonsils were huge, VERY sore, and had nasty white pus on them. When the pain and swelling was worst, I had a temperature of about 101. The first time it happened, the doctor gave me antibiotics, which appeared to work... then it came back. The second time, I got more antibiotics, which didn't work at all. Went back to a different doctor, who said the first doc was an idiot, because my infection wasn't bacterial, and couldn't be fixed with antibiotics, only make it worse. He gave me a perscription for vicodin syrup and I took that and waited the sickness out. I thought everything was better, but the sickness is apparently coming back again! My right tonsil is getting spotted with pus, and is sore and swollen, and I know the left one will soon follow. Any ideas on what could be going on with my throat? Is this like a seasonal illness? I would think removing my tonsils would help, but none of the doctors last year thought that would help. This is confusing, annoying, and making me feel like an invalid! Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

if you are using mouthwash stop using it. my experience / theory is that it kills the natural bacteria in your mouth that defends you against infection. whatever you have, sounds classic symptoms of it, do some research on the net by typing in your symptoms/signs. it may be that your water supply is infected in someway, don't use public drinking fountains/ on trains, don't use public swimming baths, and if you visit the ocean think carefully about where it is you'll be swimming. maybe your food source isn't good enough to build an immune system?

have a look at jeh's natural remedies on the web, you might see something that can help you

Yes sister chronic tonsilitis does exist for sure, I've been dealing with it since I was in elementry or younger. I've pretty much just been doing my best to ignoring it hoping it will go away, because I hate going to the docs. I know I need to get my tonsiles taken out but it's hard to find the time, and doctors who will still do this. Sorry I can't help I haven't found a cure for this either. just deal with the pain and it will eventually go away. Also always wearing scarfs even if it's just mildly cold out helps. It keeps the cold away from your throat...
