hi..
thanks for using HCM..
you have acute tonsillitis..and also probably dental infection..
together it will cause fever and other symptoms..
see your ENT surgeon for the examination, throat swab culture and sensitivity..
you may need antibiotics, analgesics, together do salt water gargling and steam inhalation..
meanwhile get your infected tooth removal so that you will have antibiotics coverage for it also..
later start with multivitamins..
all the very best..
