Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query , as you have swollen tonsils and rd patches on palate this can be due to throat infection or red patches on palate can be bacterial infection , Erythroleukoplakia , Burn , stomatitis Nicotina palate .
I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for visual examination of oral cavity , inmeanwhile you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
You can take medicine like Azithromycin by consulting with your local doctor .

Hope this will help you.
