Looks like you need to return to the ENT Specialist as your symptoms have not improved.

My daughter used to get throat infections like that at least 6 times a year. She had her tonsils removed when she was 24 and hasn’t had any problems since. Something to consider ?

I went through this as well for several months this year for the first time too. I even saw a doctor who removed some tonsil stones for me. Since then, I've had some success doing the following:

Try rinsing and gargling nightly (after brushing your teeth and tongue) with hydrogen peroxide mixed with a small amount of water. Every other night, rinse and gargle using baking soda dissolved in a small amount of water. I'd also recommend a tongue scraper ( which I use at night which seems to have helped control some of the bad bacteria that help cause tonsil stones).

DO NOT ever attempt to remove tonsil stones yourself (DO NOT USE A WATER FLOSSER EITHER for this purpose). Before I went to see the doctor, I tried, and I made a mess in there!

Things are better now from routinely rinsing and gargling with baking soda after brushing my teeth at night. And, if you have a scratchy throat or feel like you're getting sick, hydrogen peroxide helps with this as well.

A good idea from another, I still would support you in a second opinion

My ent specialist not find any symptoms of cancer he checked my voice box through Camra but he says Your voice box in fine but I am still worried

in reply to shafiquechoudry

So what advice/further follow up did Dr suggest? It is not normal to me. I have tried my thoughts, not Dr. Immunology consult, Specialist to me is required. Keep someone posted.

I cannot see if tonsils were removed? I would suggest a second opinion

My Ent specialist has not find any sign of cancer till now

in reply to shafiquechoudry

Reached beyond my level, it sure does look painful. All I can suggest and you have heard this-another highly respected EENT specialist. I am not Dr so would not rather comment on other thoughts-I really do hope another specialist finds problem. Something is wrong at least to me. I have had to seek second opinions for things missed on me-keep someone posted
