White Patch On tonsils

2018-09-19 10:58:06
I have got white patch over the tonsils, what is it actually?, is it a bacterial infection or fungal infection? Anti biotic is recommended by my physician but other says it's a fungal infection. I already took anti biotic zocef 500 for three days but no sign of relief or improvement. I have been advice to inject the antibiotic instead of having a tablet. I have also been recommended to use candid an anti fungal lotion. How much time it really take to heal completely?
