There is a possibility that you may have remnant tonsillar tissue which might have been left during tonsillectomy or there might be ulcers in the tonsillar area which are usually very painful. Clinical examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
