Hi.
Welcome !
Since you are a known case of Chronic Sinusitis , i is not possible to get a permanent cure til the sinus infection is cured. I would advise you to go for CT scan of the sinuses to see for the confirmation and nature of the sinusitis. The infection from the sinuses drip down to the pharynx causing this problem of recurrent Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis. You need a long course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines. Tonsillitis is secondary to the sinus infection hence can be cured the moment the sinuses get cleared.
