General & Family Physician, Dr. Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi's Response

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to tonsillitis. It is an inflammation or infection of the tonsils.

I recommend taking an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.

I also recommend using throat sprays for local relief. If the symptoms continue prescribed antibiotics may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
