If you have a sore throat and are experiencing pain when swallowing, along with swelling in your throat, it may be possible that you have tonsillitis. It is important to seek medical evaluation for an accurate diagnosis. In the meantime, you can try gargling with salt water, taking pain relievers such as Tylenol, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of rest. If your symptoms worsen or persist, especially if you develop a fever or white spots on your tongue, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional. Additionally, you can use the modified Centor score to assess the likelihood of needing medical attention. It is also important to consider the possibility of symptoms resembling those of Covid-19 and decide if testing is advisable based on current circumstances.
