Permanent treatment for chronic tonsillitis is tonsillectomy. If you don't want to undergo surgery then you may have to take antibiotics and painkillers during infections. Surgery takes about 45 mins and complete recovery will take around a week.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
