Hello dear...
The symptoms mentioned in your post suggests that you might be having Acute Tonsillitis.
Management consists of:
1. Gargle with warm salt water to relieve throat pain.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Antibiotics like amoxicillin to remove the causative organism of Tonsillitis.
4. Antihistamines can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
If symptoms still persist...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist.
There is no need to worry...you will be perfectly fine.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Thank you for your query.
It appears you have an infection of the tonsils. This could either be tonsillitis or strep throat. Both of these condition require treatment with antibiotics. It is highly unlikely that this is an allergic reaction or caused by halitosis.
You have been prescribed medication for pain management, a hypersensitivity reaction, and an antiseptic mouth wash. This therapy will not suffice.
Your condition can be treated with simple antibiotic therapy. Surgical removal of tonsils is only required in cases of recurrent tonsillitis, as like all surgeries this surgery also carries its risks. Please discuss the possibility of adding antibiotics to your regimen.
I hope this information helps. Feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications.
Best wishes.
