Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen left tonsil, feeling of something in throat, ringing and fogginess in ear which is due to upper respiratory tract infection, granular pharyngitis, enlarged tonsils and it could be strep throat infection. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get some routine blood investigation done. Go for thorough examination and sputum test as well. You should avoid intake of hot, spicy and sharp food. Take diet rich in multivitamins. Gargle warm saline rinses. You should take anti-allergic, mucolytic agent will help to reduce discomfort. You should take steam inhalation through the nose and mouth will help including the ear discomfort. Avoid carbonated beverages. Drink plenty of water as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
