A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: You may have a virus or a low grade infection that needs antibiotics. If after your doctor exams you and thinks it needs to be biopsied you can also be screened for any lymph node issues or even possible abscess. If you have had chronic sinusitis, pharyngitis or respiratory problems the doctor can help you resolve that as well.
