<s>[INST] I’ve been dealing with bad breath for almost two years now. I’ve always had good hygiene so I can’t blame it on that. I recently noticed that my tonsils have what looks like holes. And I also notice it has like a white maybe yellow dot. Recently I’ve been having trouble swallowing food and my tonsils are swollen. They always get swollen and go away. Help please. What can I do to make this go away? It’s very embarrassing. [/INST] Hello,As per your query, you have symptoms of chronic halitosis and swollen tonsils which is leading to tonsillitis which is causing trouble in eating food and could be due to infection of swollen lymph nodes.I would suggest you to consult ENT Specialist as you will require thorough evaluation. You should take combination of antibiotic along with anti-inflammatory medication as well.Get adequate rest and do salt water gargles several times a day. Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist and prevent dehydration.You should do some lifestyle changes like avoid spicy, fried, oily food and cold beverages. Have warm liquids like tea or warm water with honey.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Harry Maheshwari </s>
