in the past 2 months I have had 2 throat infections for which I was given antibiotics. then the last 3 weeks i have had an annoying cough and sore throat - which i thought was from the coughing. over the weekend my tonsils were so sore that it was extremely painful to swallow. now the pain is not so bad but there is still an uncomfortable feeling when I swallow particularly on the right side.

does this sound like tonsilitus? it's getting very annoying.
i dont have any other cold or flu symptoms, just the sore throat.
