Suggest Remedy For Swollen Tonsils
For about 4 days now my tonsils have been swollen, mainly one on the left with white-ish pus covering the surface. When I went to see the doctor about it beig strep he tested and said it was probably just a cold. However, since then it has gotten much worse and it is difficult to eat. I sometimes get a shooting pain in my right ear, the same side as the swollen tonsil along with a very weird Kermit the frog like voice.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having Acute follicular tonsillitis giving this trouble.
you require one course of antibiotic medicine like Azithromicin for 3-5 days.
Pain in the ear might be due to referred pain due to tonsillitis.
Do antiseptic gargles.
Avoid cold drinks, fried and junk food.
Ok and take care.
