Well, the medicines would work on the vast majority of tonsillitis. It is quite possible that smoking may injure protective linings of the respiratory tract and the ability to Clear or Get Rid Of infections quickly could be impaired by it.
Lymph nodes can easily take weeks to cllear. I cannot comment on your specific ones without examining you directly.
