ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Dear,
As per the history you have given and the clinical findings you may be suffering with tonsillitis.
smoking may not be the culprit but it is bad oral hygine . try to do the warm saline gargles after food intake. you can start the antibiotic if it doesnt go in few days along with antibiotic.
I would suggest you to consult the Specialist if you don’t get relief as on examination the findings may be different and line of treatment may have to be changed.
Yours sincerely
