Tonsillitis and tonsillectomy

Hi. hopefully this form will bring some use as no others have! So where do I start. I’d never had tonsillitis before ever! And within a few months of turning 17 I got it and it never went! I had constant tonsillitis for months 9 to be specific and during that time I was back and forwards with antibiotics etc. During this time I also had two quinseys one other the space of a week, one over a course of a day(extreamly painfull) I visited A and E multiple times about this! On the 6th turn to A and E and ent specialist saw me for the first time and instantly said my tonsils will have to come out! Okay let’s get these out because this is ruining my life might seem pathetic but trust me try staying with girls with confidence and going to the dentist. Anyway so it’s been roughly just over a year now since my tonsils have been out and I still eat the very perticuler smell and taste when breathed in steam or after a workout, I have been to the doctors around about 5 times and nothing really has been said! I still get extreamly sore throtes(monthly) I have pretty much constant blisters where my tonsils used to be and is still frustrating me more than ever! If anyone on
