What Treatment To Be Taken For Tonsils And Ear Aches?
A few weeks ago my tonsils and uvula were so swollen that I was gagging on my uvula. After swishing with some salt water and taking ibuprofen, it went away. However, this past week my left tonsil has been hurting like crazy and I have ear aches in my left ear as well. Both of my tonsils are still inflamed. I also just noticed I have pains in my right pectoral/chest area. Any thoughts?

hi,
if you have been experiencing symptoms for more rhan a week then you will do well with a course of antibiotics.
see a doctor for a prescription.
till then do warm salt water gargling 4 times daily and avoid cold foods and air conditioning.
