Hello, in the back of my throat it seems I have a white greyish bacteria in my tonsils. In the first day, half of my throat was extremley red but caused pain in my left ear. It is now the second day, in which I must go straight foward and say that everytime I swallow , speak, or eat my entire throat throat puts me through a pain i ve never expeirenced before. In the process of my sore throat working its way to a greater pain, My tempature raised twice to a fever . I have expeirenced body aches in my neck and thighs. Im concered that this could be serious. Thank you for your time.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having Acute follicular tonsillitis giving rise to this problem.
In this situation I prescribe Azithromicin tablet 500 mg once in a day for 5 days to my patients.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Do warm water antiseptic gargles.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.

hello and welcome to HCM,
You are most likely to be suffering from an acute episode of tonsillitis. The white grayish layer on your tonsils is called a membrane and there ca be many causes of the membrane. You need to do the following as soon as possible:
1. Get an ENT consult and start a course of broad spectrum antibiotics and pain killers
2. Start anti reflux treatment also in consultation with your doctor
3. Take only warm fluids and do salt water gargle
4. Do not speak loudly or strain when you speak
5. Assess whether you need injections for faster and better symptom control
6. If the problem occurs frequently then may be you can consider removal of the tonsils
take care and get well soon
