I had tonsil stones and it occurred regularly. I used to remove them from my finger from 3 months. My tonsils were never swollen or red. But from yesterday morning one of my tonsil and it's back is red, swollen, stiff and painful. I'm having pain in throat even in swallowing saliva. Something small and white look like mouth ulcer is there behind the tonsil from yesterday. Ent specialists near me are not attending their clinics now. What should I do? Do betadine gargle help?

1. Do saline gargles daily. 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results and gives relief in long term consult online with details.

You could be having an infected tonsil the way you have described it. Do you have fever? You could be having an apthous ulcer too which is quite painful & you will have difficulty in swallowing. If you an infection then an antibiotic course will help. If it is an apthous ulcer then a calcium syrup along with folic acid will help.
