For the last week or so, I ve had a sore throat, when I look in the mirror my tonsils seem to be bigger than normal and they are really red, the back of my throat looks really veiny and red and has a spot of orange bumps on one side. What are some ways I could get these spots to go away?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain swollen tonsils known as Tonsillitis along with orange bumps in the throat that can be due to Granular Pharyngitis, can be due to either bacterial or viral infection..
I would suggest you to consult an ENT Expert and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treated accordingly..
You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and along with it do warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and also suck throat lozenges..
You can chew a Vitamin C pellet to boost your immunity and relieve the symptoms faster..
Sip on plenty of warm water and other warm fluids..

Hope this information helps..
