Swollen and white tonsils, sore throat

2017-12-12 05:37:39
Sunday morning I woke up with a sore throat, since then both my tonsils have become swollen, red and covered with white spots, and my uvula has red dots on it. Swallowing is excruciating, and my lymph nodes are tender.

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery
