You probably should see your doctor as it looks like an infection. However, at this point I wouldn't assume it's strep. I've had multiple bouts with throat issues that looked like infection both during and after treatment (which ended 5 months ago).

They have cultured it (and nothing grew) showing it's not bacterial (ie it's viral). They have said the viral just has to run it's course as there isn't a lot available to treat viral infections with. In all instances, give it a week to ten days and it's been gone (for me).

I have also been told that at the surgery site (I only had one tonsil removed) you can expect white puffies that look like infection for awhile. Your's being two years ago worries me a little more than mine (5 months) does, another reason to discuss with the doc.

I hope this helps
