How To Cure Sinus Infection Along With Tonsil Cyst In Child?

Sinus infection two weeks ago...yesterday, while looking for strep spots because my kids have it, I see a white spot that looks like it is filled with pus, on my tonsil. Urgent care says it is a tonsil cyst. Should I be freaking out worried? What can I do to get rid of it? Doctor prescribed another antibiotic because of strep. Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to HCM
In my opinion, you seem to be suffering from pustular form of tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils. A sore throat is the most common of all tonsillitis symptoms. In addition, you may also have a cough, high temperature (fever), headache, feel sick, feel tired, find swallowing painful, and have swollen neck glands. The tonsils may swell and become red. Pus may appear as white spots on the tonsils. Symptoms typically get worse over 2-3 days and then gradually go, usually within a week.
All you need to do is start an antibiotic such as Amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate combination for 7-10 days.
Continue antihistamine, decongestant, paracetamol also.
In case of no relief even after 48 hrs of antibiotics, do go for an ENT check up.
For further information on this,do contact us.
