What can I do about bad breath? Do I need to take medication or will it go away with time?

If you are experiencing bad breath along with other symptoms such as a swollen tonsil with white patches, it might be a sign of tonsillitis or another throat infection. In this case, it is recommended to stay hydrated with cold or hot liquids, and you can use pain relievers or throat lozenges to help alleviate discomfort. If the symptoms persist for more than 7 days without improvement, it is advisable to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
