Suggest Remedy For Swollen Tonsils
I am a 37 year of female I reside in the Caribbean, my problem is my tonsils have been swollen for over a week now. I was given a prescription for Zithromax to treat the bacterial infection but it did not work. Now I still have the swollen tonsils and a uncomfortable feeling at the back of my tongue, like something is stuck there. I don't have much pain and there is also some white spots on my tonsils. This is making me uncomfortable please advise me what to do.Jacqui

Hi, I have some more questions, do you have bad breath or difficulty in swallowing?, if yes and your symptoms are frequent, once your symptoms subside its better to go for tonsillectomy, if no, do salt water gargle (lukewarm water) and complete your antibiotic course it will be enough...
