Gluey, I had my tonsils out when I was 15. Haven't had a sore throat since. I'm 50 something now. Use to get strep all the time, pus and all. Just something to consider
I think this is just a cold ....but the top of my throat feels so swollen and tickly that I keep gagging. Doesn't it hurt like hell to get your tonsils out as an adult??
