Might have strep throat again?

2017-06-07 18:07:24
My left tonsil is inflamed and both tonsils have white stuff on them. I had strep throat a while back and took antibiotics for it. My throat does not hurt at all. If it is strep then how did I manage to reinfect myself?

What were the antibiotics that you took last time ? What was the dosage and duration ? Reinfection occurs due to improper medication. Consult a ent specialist and take proper medicines
