Throat infection tonsillitis
I am getting repeated tonsillitis episodes since last 6 months very frequently and it cures after some days usually with saline gargle and once I had to take antibiotics.
I do swimming in swimming pool which contains chlorine water ..Can tonsillitis get triggered usually for swimming in chlorine water ? Or is it due to something else..
I have tonsillitis problems from childhood but got aggravated after admitted to swimming this yr
