You seem to be suffering chronic tonsillitis which usually presents with recurrent attacks of throat pain and difficulty in swallowing. If your symptoms are very recurrent then surgery known as tonsillectomy is the only option. No medications can prevent recurrent infection of tonsils
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
