I have my tonsils still to start off. i don't have a sour throat but it hurts badly when i swallow and feels like i have a lump in my right tonsil?

Pulsatile Irrigation: If tonsil is swollen, pulsatile irrigation acts like a massage to shrink it. It there is accumulated white cheesy material in the tonsil crypts, pulsatile irrigation is designed for this. Use the Hydro Pulse Throat Irrigator for this.

Speak to your doc: Your symptoms suggest peritonsillar abscess, Talk to your doctor or go to urgent care ASAP. You may need oral antibiotic or surgical consult if not improved on antibiotic.
