Tonsilitis
I observed tonsilitis since a day. Both my tonsils got affected and swollen. I can observe some white particles on them as well. I am thinking of taking allegra as I took it for a previous throat infection. Can it be used for tonsilitis? Suggest me some thing which works best for it. Doing mouth gargles with salt water and betadine doesn't help much. Any help is appreciated
