Could Feeling Of Something Stuck In Throat And Headache Suggest Problem In Tonsils?

im 17, female, no real major health issue, currently on no medication. so two weeks ago i got a uti, went to the doctor, was prescribed medicine then it went away. two days ago, i got another which i am now on medication for. since i woke up this morning, i have had trouble swallowing. it feels like there is something on the inside of the throat on the right side. about an hour ago i started to get a headache and my throat is getting worse. i have to tilt my head all the way back to swallow without feeling like there is something in my throat. it doesn t necessarily hurt to swallow but deffinetly is uncomfortable. is there a problem with my tonsils?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

-I would start you on amoxicilin/clavulanic acid 625mg thrice a day for 7 days. (It is a prescription medicine so you need to visit nearest doctor to get it)
- Take acetaminophen for pain.

- Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Drinks
> Spicy food
If your condition remains same for 3 days visit your doctor.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
