Hello dear
Welcome to HCM and thanks for the query
I understand your concern and sorry to hear about your problem.
Your symptoms could be due to tonsil enlargement/cervical lymph node enlargement, chronic pharyngitis or tonsillitis.
It is not due to previous infection.
Drink plenty of fluids at least 4-5 liters per day.
Drink warm water with added honey in the morning.
Warm water gargle with added salt or betadine
Use Strepsils Honey & Lemon Lozenges:act as effective antiseptics and relieve throat discomfort, (dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth every 2-3 hours, No more than 12 lozenges per 24 hours)
Antibiotic course (Tablet Amoxicillin Clavulanate 625 mg twice daily for 10 days) will helpful after confirming the infection.
So consult the ENT specialist to share my view and take specific treatment.
