Can Tonsillitis Cause Swollen Tonsils, Gums And Palate?
I was told i had tonsillitis 2 weeks ago and given a course of pencilin. it cleared up for 4 days and then cam back. I went to see my do again who gave me the same medicine for a longer course. This didnt help so I went back and he then gave me a different penecilin which has helped but I still have swollen tonsils my gums are slightly swollen and parts of my pallet are sore.
Is this normal with tonsilitis and how long does it normally last?
