General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to tonsillitis which is an infection of the tonsils.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest using a cycle of antibiotics such as Augmentin twice a day for a week.
I also recommend to drink liquids and rest.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
