Hello,
It may be inflammation of the tonsil that is tonsillar enlargement or tonsillar abscess. You need to change your doctor.
Start an oral antibiotic with Amoxicillin 1 tab twice daily for 7 days. Start tablet Levocetirizine 1 tablet at bedtime for 7 days. Give betadine gargle thrice daily for 1 week.
If it is tonsillar abscess, then we need to drain the abscess in the operation theatre. Take plenty of water and monitor temperature.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rajat Basak
