Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain a sore spot on tonsil can be due to bacterial or viral infection causing inflammation of tonsils causing Tonsillitis.
Post nasal drip cauused by sinus infection can be another cause for inflammation of tonsils..
Fever occurs when the infection enters the blood stream and the body's defence mechanism in an attempt to wall of the infection causes rise in body temperature..
Nothing to worry, take another course of antibiotics like Augmentin for 5 days.
Anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen should be taken.
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily..
Do warm saline gargles.
Steam inhalations and saline nasal sprays can help in sinus congestion relief..
Use a humidifier in your room..
Take a soft diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
