Tonsilitis on the right side.

2017-08-29 09:13:55
The tonsil is swollen and i can see white patches, probably of pus on it. I consulted a doctor and he advised me to use augmentin 625mg thrice a day for 7 days. its been two days and there is no relief in the throat. I am unable to even drink water without pain. Can you please help me understand what the problem could be?
