Suffering From Red Inflamed Tonsils And Sore Throat. Swelling In Lymph Nodes, Taking Ibuprofen. Suggestion?

Hi . I have got pitted tonsils,only just recently noticed this,I have a sore throat and rather red inflamed tonsils, for about a month I get on and off white spots but no spots at the moment. I get hear earache and headache and one of my lymph nodes in my neck sometimes slightly swells and in general I feel pretty rubbish. Being taken paracetamol and ibuprofen for 3 weeks and gargling with antibacterial mouthwash and salt water.

Hi,
From history it seems that you are having chronic tonsillitis and infected focus on tonsils.
You may require one higher antibiotic medicine course to cure your condition.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
