Brief Answer:
Bad Tonsilitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. Sounds like you have a very bad case on tonsillitis. You need to go to your ENT doctor and get a "Culture & Sensitivity" of the throat done. The result will take 2 days to come back, but then you will know which antibiotics can be used.

Once that is back, let me know.
