Extreme Throat Pain

Question

Extreme Throat Pain

Asked for Male, 26 Years

Hi Doctor, I am not able to eat anything since yesterday. There is throat redness, whitish spots on tonsils (seems like ulcers and unable to swallow anything because of inflammation). Tonsils are also swollen. It is getting worse day by day. Unable to move tongue in and out, it has some sort of white colour as well. Whole situation is around inflated tonsils. I am facing difficulties in talkings as well. I do not get tonsils oftenly. I have tried gargles, salt water rinse but isn't helping at all. Kindly Help.
