my right tonsil hurts i noticed it started to hurt this afternoon when i was eating lunch. i just tried to eat a bagel and it hurt to swollow. i did not see any white spots on my throat i took a look at it and it is really red and it looks bigger than my left tonsil . is there any solutions to get it to stop hurting?
White spot may be a food particl or pharyngitis with pus pouch or tonsillitis with cryptic abscess or oral candidiasis etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Use salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use tablet amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625 mg twice a day for five days.
Avoid cool drinks and freeze water. If symptoms not improved please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
