dear xyz,
greetings from HCM
AS per your narration, probably you are having enlarged tonsils and you are suffering with tonsillitis. so if i were your treating physician, i would have put you on tab. taxim O 200mg twice daily for 5 days, tab. diclomol twice daily for 3 days, tab. alerid-D once daily in night for 5 days. along with that you need to do salt water gargling and steam inhalation.
thank you
