Acute tonsillitis-pharyngitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

After going through the history, I do feel, you could be suffering from Acute tonsillo-pharyngitis.

You may require require broad spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of the same. Also, an oral anti-inflammatory medicine such as ibuprofen or diclofenac sodium will help in reducing the pain as well as swelling in the oral cavity.

Drink plenty of warm water to reduce the pain and swelling. Avoid coffee/chilled food and beverages/fizzy drinks/smoking (if any).

Hope I have answered the query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
