Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Need not to be worried. Take antibiotic for 5 days. Salt water gargle twice daily can help you. Antacids and H2 blockers can also be added. If possible, tonsillectomy can be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anusuya Ramesh
