Tonsils, Taking Paracetamol, Difficult To Swallow, Sore Throats. What To Do?
HI, my tonsils started hurting 2 days ago, and it is just the right tonsil, i have been taking paracetamol to get rid of the pain, which worked, until today- its hurting terribly every time i swallow, and Panadol has not worked. I used to have recurring sore throats and tonsillitis, and they would not hurt if i took paracetamol and it would disappear in about 2 days. Is this serious?

paracetamol increases the dryness
it is not serius
yu can take antibiotics cefixim 200 mg bd for 5 days
take diclofenic as painkiller
add liquid antacid
and betadine for gargles after every food
will be normal in 5 -7 days
if there is recurence you can go for injection penidura 12 lac units IM after test only one injection
or you can go for 3 injections at monthly intervals
this just d magic in mycases
