I've had these red and white bumps at the back of my throat where my tonsils were removed back in 2011. They showed up with a sore throat which is gone now, but the bumps haven't disappeared. Is there anything I can do to make them go away?

I've been dealing with really bad sinus issues for the past few days, and it's causing intense headaches, especially on the left side of my face. The pain is pretty severe, and even though I saw a doctor who prescribed meds, nothing's helping. They mentioned sinus surgery as an option do you perform that? I also have insurance and wanted to check if it's covered. What do you think I should do next?
Intense, left-sided headaches accompanied by sinus issues could indicate a sinus infection or other sinus-related conditions. To manage these symptoms, try saline nasal sprays, warm compresses, and steam inhalation. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult a doctor.
