Recurring white spot tonsillitis

2025-05-20 14:05:28
So since march 10 i am facing this issue, despite multiple antibiotic treatments I ended up having recurring tonsillitis. I chose to go this time and get a throat swab done. This is the result attached. How do I ensure i defeat this bacteria completely? In past years too I had seen this bacteria in my sputum culture and taken meds. But doctors always prescribed 5 days course where as a close friend(Md specialist) said you should have taken 10-14 days as this baxteria is highly notorious for resistance. I am confused how i contracted this and how do I eradicate it completely. I guess due to past courses of 5 days the first gen antibiotics got resistant, including cefuroximeZ Please suggest an appropriate treatment plan with enough dose to kill this bacteria off my body. Thank you.

If you're getting more than 5 attacks of tonsillitis in  a year. The best treatment here is to remove the tonsils surgically. Can try taking Ciprofloxacin for 7 days and re swab
