Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. Yes, both of your condition is inter related. You have acquired the tonsil infection because of infection gums. So our management goal is to treat both the infection. I advice you to do swab culture from the infected tonsil area. Culture and sensitivity from the swab will tell us regarding possible pathogen and it s drug. Taking treatment according to the the report will cure you at earliest. Please maintain good oral hygiene you can do hexidine mouthwash and gargle. This will keep the bacterial loaf to the minimum and rest antibiotic will do it s work. Daily two times brush can help you clear the infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM
