Tonsillitis blues

The tonsillitis has flared up again, worse than it’s been at any point during the recent bug. My guess is it’s actually bacterial or has become so. Which means I probably will end up on antibiotics for my tonsils again. The very same tonsils that were removed over 40 years ago. The post-viral cough also carries on, but that seems to be the norm for me any time I get an upper respiratory infection.
