Tonsillitis won’t go away

2018-02-19 23:48:59
About 2 weeks ago I was told by my doctor that I had tonsillitis and prescribed me medication. After about i week I noticed no change so I was put on a higher prescription. I am now complete that prescription and that pain has gone away but my tonsils are still swollen and still have the white spots on it, should I book an appointment with my doctor? Or wait it out?
