I didn’t consult a GP about it. I sought out an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, throat doc) and told him in no uncertain terms that I could not fancy myself poking in my throat and hacking up tonsil shits when I was an old woman and I needed to get these buggers out NOW! He was a young guy and totally sympathetic with my predicament and fixed me up. I tried mouthwash and whatnot. There’s really only one permanent fix, my friends: tonsillectomy.
