Hi, thanks for sharing your acute health concerns with Chat Doctor! Well, when somebody presents to me with acute neck problems, irrespective of its history or symptoms, I just want to have an examination of the tongue, tonsils, pharynx, epiglottis and glottis and also the neck glands, salivary glands etc. as these are actually in a chain...!you did not mention your age; however as per your description, your episode seems to be an acute episode of the chronic tonsillitis giving rise to a small abscess! It needs hot saline gargle 20x3 times a day for 2/3 days and take azithromycin 500 mg once a day for three days and if not responding, please revert to me on Chat Doctor!OR Just consult some ENT specialist so that the disease does not progress... Hope you got your answers you good health!
