Bacterial tonsillitis symptoms are high fever, Severe sore throat with difficulty swallowing and pus on tonsils. Antibiotics are usually required for 5-10 days depending on the symptoms. So continue using antibiotics and paracetamol for another 5 days.
Next Steps
CONTINUE ANTIBIOTICS AND PARACETAMOL as prescribed
