I am having a sore throat with redness and white spot please help
hello thank you for attaching a photo because that really helps your throat does appear red but your tonsils do not appear swollen so it is unlikely to be tonsillitis most of the time this is just due to a viral infection that will get better on its own without medication healing usually takes about five to seven days as long as you are able to eat drink and remain without fever just allow your body to heal naturally if the sore throat is only getting worse to a point you are unable to swallow anymore due to pain and you are having a fever of temperature 37 and above you might need to see a doctor in person to have it examined and prescribe you antibiotics viral supportive management only drink lots of water take paracetamol every hours as needed for pain difflam lozenges every six hours bactidol gargle three times a day after meals regular handwashing if the throat pain is getting progressively worse until a point that you cannot swallow any food due to pain or if having fever you will need antibiotics feel free to follow up with me in 5 days time regarding your progress
