Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.

I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having swollen tonsil and sore throat. This indicates upper respiratory tract infection with involvement of the tonsils in the form of acute tonsillitis. I would prefer to treat this condition by the use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and decongestants.
Do consult your doctor for examination to confirm the diagnosis and prescription of drugs.

Hope this is helpful to you.
