Acute tonsillitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
Your wife is probably having acute tonsillitis. It would be better if you can send me the pictures of her throat so that I can suggest you better.
Give her paracetamol for fever.
Is she having any white crusts on tonsils?
What medicines has she been taking so far?
Measure her temperature with a thermometer and tell me.
Follow up with the required information.
Thanks and regards
