Ongoing tonsilitis

2018-04-09 04:24:21
Went to the doctor on the 17/3, got diagnosed with tonsilitis, been taking penicillin twice day ever since. I just finished my last antiobiotic this morning, but I still have puss and mild swelling on my tonsils. They’re not really sore and no other symptoms. Do I need to go back to the doctor for more antiobiotics or should I just leave it and see how it goes?

You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to visit doctor again for change in antibiotics if necessary.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
