Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for query .

I have read your query & understand your concern.

After reading your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having chronic tonsillitis with rhinitis .

If I were your treating doctor for this case , I would advice
Regular antiseptic mouth wash twice daily like betadin ,
Antibiotics tab like O 2 twice daily after food,
Antihistamine tablet at night like Allegra M ,
Antiinflammatory tablet like tab combiflam twice daily after food for pain with neck swelling &
Tab rantac twice daily before food .

You will need prescription for this medications for 7 days from your doctor.

Take complete treatment plan to get early relief .
