Its a case of acute exacebation of chronic tonsillitis. Rt side grade 1 and left side grade 2 tonsillar hypertropy. PPW also congested. Treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics. In my openion it is better to go for cephanosporins like cepodoxime with clavulinic acid, or go directly for levofloxacin. Along with paracitamol, cetrizine or levecetrizine, warm saline gargles, brufen sos, and ask pt if she have any voice change or difficulty in breathing. In that case ithere may may be a extended laryngitis. In that case add nebulization and deflezavort. Can sent for a throat swab now itself so that after 3 days antibiotics can be changed.
