Hi, My tonsils have been infected since May 5th, It started off as a sore throat, and then i seen white spots on them, i went to the walk in that night, and was put on amoxicillin, it did nothing for me. I then went back to the walk in, and they put me on augmentin, 10 days of that, 2 days after i was off it, the swelling and white spots came back. for 5 days it didnt hurt, they were just swollen and still had white spots. on the 6th dayof this happening, the pain came out of no where. It was so extreme i ended up in the ER. They took strep and mono, and blood testing, and everything came back negative. A few days later i went to my parents house which was 5 house from where i was living, and my mom bought me to another walk in, i was then put on a steriod and 2 days later went to an ENT where i was diagnosed with sever tonsilitis. He told me to finish the steroid, and then put me on clindamyican. i took that 3 times a day for 10 days. I took it for the full 10 days, an again 5 days after i was off the medication, it came back. I went back to the ENT and he said i now have cryptic tonsils and have to gargle with salt water and peroxide to prevent bacteria from getting into my tonsils. I have been doing that for a week. it then got bad, so again i was in the ER, and they perscribed me more clyndamiacin, and i have been taking that for 7 days as of today. I noticed tonight that the veins on my toncils were dard read, and i dont know how to explain the white marks on my toncils, but it looks like white marble, but its under the skin, its not the bacteria. My ENT said he would not do a tonsilectmy
