I have had a sore throat on one side since last night. I think it might be a tonsillitis. What can I do?

If you have a sore throat on one side, it is possible that you have tonsillitis. It is recommended to first calculate your Centor score. If it is above 2, you should consult a doctor. If not, or if it is difficult to see a doctor, you can try gargling salt water, eating cold foods, and taking pain relievers like Advil or Tylenol. If the symptoms persist after 8 days, it is best to consult a doctor.
