Sore and swollen tonsils

2018-07-13 16:14:41
I have had a terrible sore throat since Tuesday night, July 10th. I took 2-400mg ibuprofen Wednesday night and Thursday morning which helped a lot. Then I took a dose Thursday night that didn't​ seem to help. So I took 200mg more and it seemed to make it worse. I woke up Friday morning and it hurts like heck. Should I up the ibuprofen dose or switch pain reliever?
