My left tonsil has swollen right up, my gland has also swollen massively making a lump on my neck. This is giving me ear ache and am struggling to even swallow liquids. Im constantly tired, a little bit headachey and have very thick saliva. I went to the doctor two days ago and she said to just take nurofen 3 times a day and gargle soluble paracetamol 4 times a day however this really doesnt seem to be doing anything for me, could she have got it wrong?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You may have tonsillitis or upper respiratory tract infection. You should take a course of antibiotics like azithromycin, amoxiclav or levofloxacin.  Consul tent surgeon once for examination.  For fever paracetamol should be taken.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
