    I think it also possible you have an infection, you should probably go see a doctor... :-\

    i always find it works, its like putting a cold pack on the back of your throat it helps to reduce the swelling

    also if your throat is getting gunky a bit of dry toast helps to scratch it off ;D

    but obviously you should see a doctor i was just giving you an excuse to eat ice cream :p

    Check the doctor and see. It may be an infection. Drink salt + warm water for a little soothing effect.

    may be an infection or tonsillitis , definitely see a doctor. Also these days they hardly ever remove tonsils, only if its a really sever case.

    What are tonsils for anyway? Something with keeping the bacteria out, isn't it?
