How Can Tonsillitis Be Treated?
About 2 weeks ago I was told by my doctor that I had tonsillitis and prescribed me medication. After about i week I noticed no change so I was put on a higher prescription. I am now complete that prescription and that pain has gone away but my tonsils are still swollen and still have the white spots on it, should I book an appointment with my doctor? Or wait it out?

Hello,
Persistent swelling and white spots are suggestive of persistent infection. You will need another antibiotic that is chosen according to culture and sensitivity results. Please be advised to follow up with your primary provider.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
