I have a sore throat on my left tonsil. Very intense. It brings tears to my eyes when I swallow. It's very red. No symptoms of covid. What should I do?

If you have a sore throat with swollen tonsils but do not have symptoms of Covid-19, it is recommended to consult a doctor if your Center score is 3 or higher to potentially get antibiotics. Otherwise, over-the-counter medication like Advil™ can help reduce swelling and pain. Rest and plenty of sleep are also important for recovery.
