Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. As far as the swelling in the tonsil is concerned, it can be because of the peri tonsillitis abscess secondary to bacterial infection. It is not because of the spray. Nothing to be panic. You can consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin (if you are not allergic ). Do saline gargling. I hope I have answered your query. Take care
