How To Cure Sore Throat And White Patches On The Tonsils Along With Fever?
Hi. So this past weekend I was sick with the 24 hour flu (body aches, fever), and I also had a sore throat. This week I ve been having the fever off and on everyday. I ve also noticed that pimples have began to form in the back of my throat right above my tonsils, possibly even on my tonsils as well. This makes it sore when I swallow. My fever is still off and on, if it makes a difference? I m starting to really freak out... By the way, is it alright to have a handfull of those white tonsil stones on your tonsils? Because I do...

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to tonsillitis which is an infection of the tonsils.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the fever.
I also suggest to gargle with salty water and use an anti bacterial throat spray.
If the symptoms continue, you may need antibiotics to treat the infection.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
