Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of eating mussel 4 days ago and felt something stuck followed by red and inflamed tonsil.
Since you can not see anything, it is possible that Tonsillitis be a present on its own or the foreign body is embedded in the tonsil.
This may be diagnosed only by an examination and experience of an ENT Surgeon.
Please consult one to have clinical examination and removal of FB and get treated with prescription based antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and symptomatic treatment.
