Will A Rocephin Shot Help With Recurrent Tonsillitis ?

Culture and sensitivity testing of tonsils pus is advised...
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I am sorry for the situation your daughter is in.
If she is having recurrent/chronic tonsillitis with pus on tonsils, I highly advise to run culture of pus swab and sensitivity testing to determine the right infectious agent and the most suitable antibiotic to fight this infection.
I think resistance to augmentin has been developed so far; that's why culture and sensitivity testing is advised to run to determine the right antibiotic.
If you have a rocephin shot, you can give to her; however, I just advise to wait for tomorrow's appointment.
For the moment, I advise to:
- give Augmentin as prescribed
- advise her to gargle with warm water and salt
- give her 1 teaspoon of olive oil and honey in distance from meals
- give her plenty of fluids
- oral antiseptics will help
Hope it was of help!
