I ve been crying for the past two days straight. But I noticed today my tonsils were really sore. I tried to take a picture of them to see if there was any swelling but unfortunately I couldn t see very clearly. They hurt when I swallow or talk, and I have a cough but I think it s because of my tonsils. My throat is very dry and I have to keep coughing
If i were your treating doctor then i would suggest you following things: > Take amoxicilin/clavulanic acid 625mg thrice a day for 7 days > Take acetaminophen for fever (if occurs) > Take Diphenhydramine + Dextromethorphan for cough. > 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.
AVOID: > Chilled water > Drinks > Spicy food
