Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are suffering from swelling and excessive yellow discharge from the tonsils which seems to be due to tonsillitis. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to
- Do betadine gargles after every three hours to relieve pain in throat.
- Chew basil leaves and ginger in small quantity.
- Take antibiotic Azithromycin along with multivitamin and take paracetamol combination for relief of symptoms of fever.
- Take diet rich in fruits and vegetables which will boost your immunity.
If your symptoms keeps on persisting even after 1 week then visit ENT specialist once to get it checked properly and take proper prescription for your condition. 3 months or more persistence of tonsillitis with repeated infections, should be managed with tonsillectomy.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
