Suggest Treatment For Tonsillitis

I recently was diagnosed with tonsillitis. I was given an antibiotic as treatment and all of my symptoms went away. However, my tonsils still look abnormal and are enlarged, even though I have no symptoms of tonsillitis anymore whatsoever, not even a sore throat. It almost looks like there is actually an abscess on one of my tonsils. I was also in Europe when I began to get sick, specifically Prague. Is there any chance that this actually isn t tonsillitis or is it just a severe case possibly? I m not sure if I should just leave it alone or go back to visit the doctor.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I think you should get back and visit a doctor. For the enlarged tonsils, I recommend to:
- Gargle with warm water and salt
- Do use oral antiseptic
- Increase fluids intake especially warm teas and water
- Do use ice chips to reduce enlarged tonsils
- If also nasal congestion should use nasal saline spray on daily basis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
