What Is The Cure For Cough And Swollen Tonsil?

Hello, I have a throat cough caused my swollen tonsils. My tonsils appear red and lower than they usually are, apart from cough syrup what else can I do to help me sleep better. It's worth mentioning that I've had it for two days but only got bad last night.

Thanks,

Hi,
From history it seems that you are having acute tonsillitis.
You require one course of antibiotic like Azzithromicin for 3 days.
Continue with cough syrup.
Do salt water gargling daily.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
