General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

As your condition is advanced so i would suggest you following things :
> Start amoxicilin+clavulonic acid 625mg three times a day for 7 days
> Acetaminophen for pain & fever
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it 3-4 times a day for at least 4 days. It will give soothing effect.

AVOID:
> Chilled water
> Spicy food
> Drinks

If condition does not start resolving after 3-4 days then you need to visit hospital for i/v medication. Tonsilectomy is advised in extreme recurrent cases of tonsilitis. Hope your condition will resolve soon enough.


Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
