Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Tonsils Gland
My tonsils and glands are swollen, there is white spots on both of my tonsils and the back of my tongue looks yellow and as though there is something coating it. I m having difficulty swallowing, in pain and i consistently feel like something is stuck in my throat. I don t have a fever and i feel like my throat is very dry and i m drinking a lot of fluids. Any idea what it could be?

Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms are suggestive of a bacterial infection, probably streptococcus infection.
For this reason, I recommend consulting as soon as possible with your attending physician for a physical exam and performing a throat bacterial culture coupled with blood lab tests for strep infection. Antibiotics may be needed.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
