I've been dealing with strep throat for the past two years, and it keeps coming back almost every month. My tonsils get those white and yellow patches, and I also notice small bumps at the back of my tongue. Meds help for a bit, but it never really goes away. Would getting my tonsils removed be a permanent fix for this?

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat lately. It's kind of uncomfortable and sometimes there's soreness and pain in both my throat and neck. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of throat irritation or inflammation. To help alleviate the discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain relief. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges like Strepsils to soothe your throat. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
