I honestly don't know how people get through this without anti-anxiety meds :-() I had tonsillitis so often as a kid they could never find a window to remove them - then they tried to kill me in my mid 50's ;-) Evidently you are not alone with lingual tonsil issues. See: http://ehealthforum.com/health/topic26254.html#bQuitting tobacco and other irritants certainly can't hurt.
