Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear along with steroids you need antibiotics also don't take two tablets with out doctor advice it may aggravate the problem, we don't know what is the reason for the lump in your mouth. So probably you may be suffering from tonsillitis. So use salt water gargle and water vapor inhalation, avoid cool drinks and freeze water, tab. Amoxillinclvulinate 625 thrice a day for 5days. Still symptoms persisten you need to consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.

Take care
