G.P.
I was 58 when I consulted a Dr for ear ache and sore throat. The sore throats I had all my life and was supposed to have had my tonsils out as a child but my Dad was against it. I suffered many a sore throat with huge "white spots", swollen glands, etc all my life and several times a year. Finally, at 58, an eye, ear, nose Dr recommended I have a tonsillectomy. I just about did NOT make it out of recovery my wife thought I was dying before her eyes. After I did and got home the next WEEK was bad, very bad. I was using the liquid vicoden every 4 hrs and in such pain it was unreal. I recovered but still have sore throats throughout the year just not the white spots. Now it's more like "on fire" sore throat for maybe 24 hr but tonsil removal did not keep sore throats from me.
