Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of something sharp coming out of the throat and when you saw in the light there was yellow on the tonsils.
This is indicative of an acute tonsillar infection and I would advise you the following:
- Consult a Doctor for clinical examination sending the sample of yellow discharge for gram staining and culture and sensitivity.
Get started on an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines and supportive medicines as and when necessary.
This will help you to get a control faster and get a proper diagnosis so that proper antibiotics can be started or added on results of culture and sensitivity as well as of the blood and urine.
Take bed rest.
Be on liquid diet.
