Suggest Treatment For Painful Ulcers On The Tonsils

default
Posted on Mon, 21 Nov 2016
Question: I have been to my family Doctor twice and Urgent care twice in the last 10 days. It started with my Doctor stating i had an ulcer on my right side of my tonsil said it would go away in 5 or 6 days. By 2 days later i was at urgent care with so much pain in my throat. They gave me a liquid shot of decadron and it made me feel a bit better for 2 days and then horrible again. Went back to them 2 days later and received exactly the same treatment. Still pain still entire back of my mouth covered in a thick white coating. Went back to Family Doctor he said i will hit it with a bazooka. 6 days of Predisone and 10 days of Cefuroxime. Still have sore throat and white covering back of my throat. Can you help me in anyway???
