Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history about your husband.
It seems that he is suffering from severe tonsillitis along with the inflammation of hte cartilages of the neck .
He needs an intensive treatment with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen, symptomatic and supportive treatment.
You have to take him to the Doctor, preferably an ENT to have a clinical evaluation and investigations and to get a proper prescription based treatment as outlined above.
