What Causes Persistent Abscess In Tonsil Despite Taking Medication?

complete the course
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
In my opinion, the clindamycin course should be completed. Stopping antibiotics midway can cause resistance to develop in the bugs. Resistance to antibiotics occurs in sub optimal dosing and incomplete therapy. The fact that no rash was developed in the initial phase virtually rules out the possibility that she may be allergic to the medication or could worsen the mono. This is strictly my opinion only based on my clinical experience. A better option would be to take a second opinion based on a comprehensive history and physical examination that visualizes any residual abscess.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
