Tonsillitis - extremely painful
From Sunday morning my mother's throat was swollen and very painful. She couldn't even drink water. The doctor prescribed amoxyclav 625 three times a day, along with acenext Sp three times a day only. From day 1 to today there is no improvement. Yesterday she was coughing all night and today the pain is more severe. She didn't ate any solids only liquids up till now. I'm very worried the medication doesn't seem to work. Today she took grilinctus cough syrup to sooth the coughing. But the throat inflammation and pain is just too severe. I'm very worried Please Help!! Dr.!!!
