Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Swollen Tonsils
Hi, I have had glandular fever for the past month and have experienced all of the symptoms but the one that is really effecting me is the sore throat from a swollen tonsil on one side. I have had an excruciating sore throat for about 4 days and my tonsils are not going down. I was wondering how much longer I will have this sore throat for or if it will get better any time soon because i can t even swallow my own saliva.
