Any infection involving tonsils and leading to increase in its size, throat pain or fever more than 5 times in a year need to investigated and tonsillectomy is must to avoid similar repeated episodes. If you are talking about just posterior pharyngeal wall congestion, Yes it may be due to GERD, post nasal drip due to nasal allergy. Avoid spicy food, cold water/food items, smoking.
