What Is The Cause For Swollen Tonsils With White Ulcers When On Ibuprofen?

Hi. My tonsils are very swollen and have like white ulcers or scabs it looks like all over them. They've been like this for 3 days and haven't improved. I have medicine from the doctor and I've been taking ibuprofen but nothing has helped. I smoked marijuana a couple days prior to the infection, could that be what caused it? Also, I'm in so much pain I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least ask if it would be a bad idea to smoke now so that I can numb the pain?

You need not take marijuana. Take warm saline gurgling. Take ezithrocin 500 mg daily for 3 days. Vitamin c 500 mg daily and hifenac tablet two times daily for 5 days. You will be alright within one week.
