Suggest Remedy For Swollen Tonsils After A Non-penetrative Intercourse

I ve been reading online and I just want to make sure it s not serious. 2 nights ago I gave oral sex, and today I woke up with swollen tonsils with pockets of pus. A few months ago I had tonsillitis and my doctor told me to go back to her once I was better. She said my tonsils are very large and need to be removed, I haven t had them removed yet.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having acute follicular tonsillitis with pus as you had same infection before with bad tonsils.
But as there is h/o exposure with oral sex requires attention to rule out HSV.
Consult sexologist and get examined.
Ok and take care.
