Stupid tonsils

I used to get constant strep throat that stopped about a year ago but ever since my last infection, my tonsils have stayed a little bigger than normal and food is constantly getting stuck behind an in between. I cant afford to go see an ENT to see what they may suggest and im getting sick of it. Seriously, they are so big after I eat, I have to go check and make sure food isnt stuck (and gargling with water/salt water doesnt help), so it doesnt cause bad breath and or infections and pain smurf not having insurance and being able to see about getting them out :/
