Brief Answer:
Tonsillitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate the way you describe the symptoms.
It clearly gives me a clue into postulating that you have Tonsillitis.
If the infection is trivial, gargling with a good antiseptic solution like Chlorhexidine thrice daily for three days will help you get rid of the symptoms.
Also, you can take a dose of Tab Cetrizine 10mg once in the night for three days to alleviate the symptoms.
If the infection is more virulent (strong ), where symptoms would persist even after three days of gargling. You will need a course of antibiotics.
You may have to then consult a ENT specialist for you to be placed on suitable antibiotics.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Please do ask if any doubts.
