Damn I also suffer from this multiple times a year and have done for like 18 years (I'm late 30's now) my doctor refuses to refer me to let me have my tonsils out, I can see why.

Never realised It was that bad.

Edit* Just like to add full blown strep / tonilitus In adult years Is one of the worst things you can ever go through In life. So much more than sore throat.
