Tightness In Throat, Bumps On Tonsils, Hurts On Swallowing, Severe Headache. Cure?

My daughter, age 25, felt a tightness in her throat this afternoon and noticed a bump on her tonsil. She had a function to attend and started to feel woozy and also had a headache. She went home and took a nap and when she woke her headache was worse and she noticed more red bumps had erupted on her tonsils and back of her throat and it hurts to swallow.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As red bumps over tonsils are due to bacterial infection with allergy.
Usually all these symptoms are due to infection of tonsils or peritonsilar abscess.
Physical examination will find out every thing.
Till take levofloxacin 750 mg tablet once in a day only for three days.
Hot saline gargles or anti septic solution gargles will help.
Chew ginger and it will give complete relief in throat and relief in tonsils pain.
Still no relief consult an E N T specialist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
