I was prescribed Moxclav 625 three times a day for 5 days by my ent doctor for my unilateral tonsillitis. Now online I am reading Amoxicillin is given for 7 to 10 days. Can anyone clear up my confusion?

Moxclav 625 for 5 day is fine Antibiotic duration depends on the clinical diagnosis, severity, examination findings, and the treating doctor’s judgment. A 5-day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate may be appropriate in selected cases, while some patients require 7 to 10 days

Moxclav (amoxicillin + clavulanate) is stronger than plain amoxicillin, so 5 days is enough for most tonsillitis cases. Your ENT's prescription is correct — complete the course as given.
Next Steps
Finish all 5 days even if you feel better. Avoid cold food and drinks. Consult me on Practo if no improvement after finishing the course.

Hello, For most of the cases, moxclav for 5 days is more than enough. If your symptoms got subsided, there is no need to take more antibiotics. Because consumption of more antibiotics is not good for your health. If you have persistence of symptoms, consider ENT doctor because the infection might be resistant ti moxclav. Thanks
Next Steps
If your symptoms persist, consider ENT doctor for consultation
