Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurring swelling and redness in right tonsil which is because of upper respiratory tract infection and leading to tonsillitis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood test , throat swab test done and start treatment accordingly. You should avoid sharp and spicy foods and take steam inhalation as it is very effective for throat infection. You should take antibiotics along with decongestants and anti inflammatory medication as well. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Take diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
