Hello Thank You for contacting HCM. This seems to be acute tosilitis. Is there history of fever? You did not mention your age. I would suggest you following things: Take amoxicilin/clavulanic acid 625mg thrice a day for 7 days Take acetaminophen for fever (if occurs). Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect. Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day. AVOID: Chilled water Drinks Spicy food Report to hospital if: Condition remain same after 2-3 days Any unusual symptom appears Condition deteriorates. There is difficulty in breathing. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
