amoxicillin is not helping my tonsillar enlargement with pus why
hello I have seen the pictures tonsillar surfaces are irregular normally due to the presence of crypts the tonsil does not appear to be grossly enlarged however a better picture showing both tonsils would be of help pus discharge from tonsils can happen in both acute and chronic tonsillitis however in acute there will be fever sore throat dysphagia etc and in chronic there will be vague irritation in the throat recurrent sore throat and bad breath or halitosis in either case since it is exuding pus you need a systemic antibiotic as you have already taken you also need topical antiseptic like chlorhexidine or betadine gargles plenty of fluids and analgesic for pain
hello doctor I am a 37 year old female for about a month my tonsil left side has looked enlarged and irregular if I press on it I will sometimes see a little pus or white fluid coming out from behind it occasionally feels just a tiny bit scratchy I did see our urgent care and they prescribed amoxicillin finishing the script 875 my for 10 days did not rectify I have an in person ent appointment within two weeks however with everything going on I am nervous that I would not get in I would also just love some reassurance if this is not wildly abnormal
