Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of large red vein on the back of the throat is due to streptococcal infection which is leading to strep throat. Tonsillitis is one of the cause. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done and go for sputum test as well. You should do is to do warm saline gargles at-least 2 to 3 times in a day. Avoid drinking cold carbonated beverages. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Avoid fried , sharp and spicy food. You can take soothing lozenges to reduce pain and discomfort. For reduction of pain and inflammation you should take ibuprofen or calpol. You should take antibiotic amoxicillin for at-least 5 days. Do rinses with antimicrobial mouthwash as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
