I have a really swollen right tonsil and it hurts to swallow. I can't go to the doctors at the moment and It seems im unable to swallow any painkillers, what should I do?
I am 17, about 220 lbs, and I've only had strep throat and tonsillitis once before, and it was bacterial. I'm unable to get those same prescription meds though as my health care benefits have changed. Gargling salt water hasn't helped much either.
