hi.
Read and understood your history of tonsillitis with pain in throat. You have whooping cough and it looks that you have white expectoration also coming from the throat on coughing.

The Amoxicillin did not help you means you may need another antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and painkillers for the relief.
With the history of TB Tumors operated 2 years back , the possibility of TB now also has to be ruled out and this is done by:
X-ray of the chest.
Test of blood including Gold Quantiferone test for TB.
ENT Endoscopy examination and biopsy

The final diagnosis will give the proper plan for treatment.
