I have been sick for a week now. Symptons developed into a fluctuating fever, chills, coughing, painful stomach and eventually, a very sore throat on one side as well as difficulty swallowing. I saw a white growth on my right tonsil and realised I had tonsillitis. Currently taking antibiotic that has been prescribed to me in order to treat it. Over the past two days, I have noticed diminishment in hearing in my left ear. Is this temporary/caused by tonsillitis? (Never had it before now)
