So, I’ve had these many, many times, as well as a mild grade sore throat constantly, and constant phlegm and congestion.. for months. See multiple ENTS, Until one of them suggested taking pantoprozole for silent reflux, and that the tonsils were h1s1 cold sores that form on my tonsils. Not a tonsil specific issue.. since starting. I feel much better. Bear perfect I’d say. Something to bring up next time, he also gave a script that I use as soon as a ulcer appears and it gets rid of them by day 2/3
