What Causes Swelling In The Tonsils?
hi im a 22 yr old female. and a few days ago i got alot of white stuff covering my tonsils n today they hurt. the only thing different i can think happened was i swallowed my boyfriends semen for the first time and then the following day had swollen tonsils with white all over them looking like tonsilitis. and i was wondering what i should do for it? and if it was caused by swallowing?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to tonsillitis which is an inflammation of the tonsils. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the inflammation. I also suggest to drink liquids and gargle with salty water. If the symptoms continue, you may use a cycle of antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
