How To Treat Pus Filled Spots On The Tonsils?

Okay so my tonsils are huge. With pus spots on them. The first day they were just huge and red. The second day I kept taking pain meds, and gargles salt water before bed-and that night I went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night from the pain and I could barely breathe. I looked at them in the mirror with a flashlight and they were so big they were almost sticking together and pus filled oozing spots were all over them. I took pain killers and continued to have horrible sleep regulars less of the pain meds, barely relieving anything. I ve been taking 800-1000 mg of ibuprofen or acetaminophen for 2 days now since the sleepless night. My vision started getting blurry and slurred a lot today. It started a little bit a couple days ago and today it s been pretty consistent. Even at times when I m not exerting a lot of energy-my vision blurs at random times throughout the day.

Hi, you seem to be having acute follicular tonsillitis and need to take antibiotics with analgesics and antiseptic gargles. Please take Tablet. Augmentin 1gm twice daily along with Tablet. Diclomol twice daily and hexidine gargles thrice daily. Alternately you can go for a throat swab and culture sensitivity and start with a specific antibiotic. regards
