Tonsillitis
My right tonsil has been swollen for 13days , on the 5th day I went to my go and was given antibiotics (amoclav) I was on these for 5 days with no improvement, I went back on the 6th day and he gave me more amoclav for a further 3 days, I was on them for 8 days altogether with no improvement, I am now finished the antibiotics and my tonsil is still swollen and I am now suffering with jaw pain, and my ears hurt and keep tingling, I have also motive hole like dents in my tonsil
Just enlargement of tonsils is not a disease and if there is associated throat pain then treatment is required. There are multiple crypts normally present in the tonsillar surface which are sometimes prominent. If you have throat pain and difficulty in swallowing then antibiotics needs to be changed
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
