hello,
Thank you for choosing HCM.As there is only unilateral tonsillitis there are chances of having peritonsillar abscess as the possible cause but you will get the cavity behind or above the tonsills.You need to be treated with antibiotics for that.INDCLAV is a higher antibiotic and it might help you but if it is pencillin resistant then you need to take erithromycin or azithromycin.You can also take over the counter painkillers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.Drink plenty of water and hydrate yourself.Gargling is important and warm water with salt is good for it.And incase if it is peritonsillar abscess then your doctor may sometimes drain the pus too.Thank you.
