Brief Answer:
Tonsillitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I recommend you to gargle with Chlorhexidine solution 3 to 4 times a day. This is an antiseptic solution and will kill the bacteria instantly once it touches the throat. Hence, this is most effective than taking oral antibiotics.

You can also take Tab Syrup Benadyl to reduce the irritation and pain in the throat. Take 10 ml of syrup thrice daily for three days.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
