If you have pain in your tonsils, it could be due to an infection. Most of the time, the pain will go away on its own after a few days. You can try taking Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil (ibuprofen) with food for relief. Menthol lozenges like Fisherman's Friend can also help ease the discomfort. Make sure to stay hydrated with water, tea, soup, etc., and you can consume them hot or cold based on your preference. If the pain worsens, persists for more than 48 hours without improvement, or if you have a fever for several days despite taking Tylenol or Advil, it would be best to consult a doctor. Stay strong, and feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
