Tonsillectomy worth it?

my tonsils have been swollen since early march. I was diagnosed with strep throat and given antibiotics and it cleared up within a few days. A couple days after that my tonsils switched from decreasing in size to once again swelling. They have been constantly swollen to this day so big they are both almost touching my uvula.My doctors keep saying I dont need surgery but its to the point where i snore constantly when i sleep, my nose is always stuffy, i cant breathe from my nose and i have sore throats almost every day. However, I haven't had a case of strep throat since my one is march, therefor they believe I shouldnt have them out. Am I wrong in thinking I should have them removed before I leave again for college? I dont want to be chronically sick like i feel now.
