Hello Welcome here. The drugs would take 2-3 days to show their effect. Purulent tonsillitis can cause the symptoms like difficulty in opening month and swallowing, drooling and pain in throat.
If you have some new symptoms, you must revisit your doctor. However the drugs will take sone time to show its effects.
You can do hot water gargles. You must avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals.
Hope this helps. Thanks
