be assure it is not cancer and cancer does not have these symptomps
we avoid these days tonsillectomies
i think you re suffering from chronic sinusitis and the post nasal rip of sinuses causing the problems of inflamation and congestion
you need to get xray pns waters view and consult ent doctor to treat sinuses whichwill clear the problems
for meantime you can clear by anti biotics anti allergics local applications and local antiseptic gargles
