Recurring white spot tonsillitis
So since march 10 i am facing this issue, despite multiple antibiotic treatments I ended up having recurring tonsillitis.
I chose to go this time and get a throat swab done.
This is the result attached.
How do I ensure i defeat this bacteria completely? In past years too I had seen this bacteria in my sputum culture and taken meds. But doctors always prescribed 5 days course where as a close friend(Md specialist) said you should have taken 10-14 days as this baxteria is highly notorious for resistance.
I am confused how i contracted this and how do I eradicate it completely. I guess due to past courses of 5 days the first gen antibiotics got resistant, including cefuroximeZ
Please suggest an appropriate treatment plan with enough dose to kill this bacteria off my body.
Thank you.
