How To Get Rid Of Tonsils?

I have very inflamed tonsils and throat so I went to the doctor yesterday and he prescribed me Cefalexin 500mg . At the time I forgot to mention that I had mouth ulcers too and my gums are sore and inflamed too. Should I go back to the doctor and inform him of my mouth problems too or just let the antibiotics run its course first?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You should let the antibiotics run its course especially since you only started the course yesterday.

Mouth ulcers can occur in throat infection.

The antibiotics would help these ulcers as well as the gum symptoms that you are experiencing.

I hope this helps
