Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain while swallowing due to tonsillitis which is mainly due to inflammation of tonsils. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Take enough rest.
- Take plenty of fluids.
- Use throat lozenges to relieve pain.
- Take soft food such as soups and milkshakes.
- Take proper course of antibiotics along with Ibuprofen And anti inflammatory medications.
- Avoid sharp and spicy food.
- Maintain hygiene of oral cavity.

Visit ENT specialist once and go for throat culture test to find out microorganism such as virus or bacteria and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
