Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection or bacterial tonsillitis.

I would advise you to start with the antibiotics. You should take Azithromycin 500 mg (Azee 500) once a day for 3 days. In addition, you should start antihistamine such as Levocetrizine 5 mg (Levocet) once a day for 5 days. You can also take over the counter available decongestants and can do steam inhalation at home.

However, if the condition does not improve in 5 days, you should consult an ENT specialist for clinical examination and further investigations.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
