Can Soreness, Red And Swollen Glands Be Due To Tonsillitis?
Im not sure, but I think I may have Tonsillitis, I have had it mildly before, basically I have a very sore throat, my tonsils are red and my glands are swollen, its hard to swallow, also the insides of my cheeks feel sort of slimy? the only way I could think to explain it, the roof of my mouth also sort of hurts too. Also feel slightly week and my muscle are a bit achy.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Aches and pain, sore throat are signs and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection.
In most cases, the infection is due to a viral rather than bacterial infection.
The main treatment is symptomatic, this means treatment directed at symptoms only.
Treatment: (1)oral gargles/lozenges/sprays for the sore throat. Examples are chloroseptic, diflam, bethadine
(2)fluids and rest
(3)paracetamol for joint and muscle pain
I hope this helps
