He has developed sore throat and trouble swallowing on right side of throat today.He suffered from a 15 days bout of Typhoid in April 2010 which got cured using aggressive antibiotic treatment . He also has tendencies of Tonsil infections for which he takes homeopathy medication. What is he having now and is it relapse of Typhoid?

Hello,
Fever of six days, high grade, sore throat, difficulty in swallowing, suggestive of tonsillitis. It needs to give an antibiotic course for five to seven days, also needs to search for any loculated pus in tonsils or lymph node. I suggest you for complete blood count (CBC), ultrasound neck. Less likely possibility of typhoid fever, urine infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
