Tonsillitis from 1 week
Respected Dr.,
From past 1 week i am suffering from tonsillitis amd i got it checked by ent specialist he prescribed me medicines like amoxy clav etc, but its not improving i am having difficulty in swalloing and it pains. Also had fever for 3 4 days but now fever is gone. I am worried about throad or oral cancer as i smoked hookah regularly for 10 15 mins on daily basis for past 1 month. Can it be cancer or something? I am worried and very tensed for the same. Please do help.
Unlike cancer due to short history of smoking. It could also be that you are resistant to the antibiotic taken or could be due to short course taken. Better to review once more and get it evaluated.
In case of gastritis, you can have similar throat pain/discomfort. So need to get it evaluated once more.

Sir start with warm saline gargle or betadine gargle
If it doesn’t resolve by 1 week then we can think of other things but stop smoking as you have throat infection and cancer is last diagnosis but first stop smoking and do gargle and follow
