I am suffering from throat pain. I have consulted the doctor. But he said that I have a tonsil so should remove through operation. Any other treatment for this?

You need to do warm salt water gargles daily-preferably morning and night. Also avoid cold and sour food items. If tonsils are enlarged and causing problem in swallowing or breathing or causing recurrent sore throat (6-7 episodes per year), surgery (tonsillectomy) will be a better option instead of repeated medical treatment with antibiotics etc.
