Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen tonsils on left side which seems to be due to tonsillitis/tonsil stones. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of cold carbonated beversges and do warm saline gargles on daily basis. You should take antibiotic Amoxicillin for 5 days in combination with antiinflammatory medication. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get throat swab test done and go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
