Question 1

I've been dealing with swollen tonsils for about 10 months now, and its starting to worry me. It all started when my doctor said I had viral pharyngitis, which cleared up in a week. But then my left tonsil swelled up without any pain, and a few weeks later, the other one did too. It's been a long time now, and the swelling hasn't gone down. Plus, it's giving me bad breath and other problems. What could be going on, and should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics such as Amoxicillin can be prescribed to help reduce the swelling and infection in your tonsils. If the antibiotics do not improve the condition, a tonsillectomy may be considered as a treatment option. Additionally, you can try using a saltwater gargle or throat lozenges to help alleviate the discomfort and bad breath associated with swollen tonsils.
