Hey Docter I facing tonsillitis.
I've been facing tonsillitis for the last 6 days, and I consulted an ENT specialist. She also gave me some medicines, which are Pantop 40, Amoxyclav 625, and Zerodol P. I took them for 3–4 days and still am not getting any effects, even though I am not able to swallow the saliva. So what should I do now? And my tonsils are too swollen, which means they are touching each other from their sides. I tried some home remedies too, like honey with black tea, haldi milk with ginger, and more. Can you give any cure or by which it can easily shrink to its original position? And one more thing, I think there are some whitesh kind of thing on there, not stone but just a layer.
