Suggest Treatment For Pain In Tonsils
Question: Hello. I have been suffering from alot of pain in my tonsils. I took profinal xp and one round of antibiotics last month; yet, the pain remains especially when swallowing.
I am confused since I have removed my tonsils 5 years ago. The pain comes and goes and from one tonsil to another.
I am worried maybe its related to some sort of STI as I have a new partner since 2 months and oral sex is occuring.
I also have white vaginal discharges. Is this related to what I previously said in any way?
Please advise.
Thank you!

Brief Answer:
I doubt it is related to an STI; but need a little more information pls
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I somehow doubt it can be related to an STI, it could be an upper respiratory tract infection requiring antibiotic coverage (e.g. azithromycin). But oral sex can of course aggravate it, so avoid it for a while. Please also initiate an oral mouth wash like BETADINE mouthwash or any other brand available at your drug store.
Do you have any other accompanying symptoms along with the white vaginal discharge like:
+Burning sensation while urinating
+Increased frequency of urination
+Increased urge to pass urine but very less urine being passed
+Fowl smelling vaginal discharge
And was there any genital to genital contact ma'am?
I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.
Best wishes.
