Suggest Remedy For White Stuff On Tonsils
Went to Dr yesterday ; had body aches, fever x 3 days. Fever as high as 100.3 ; severe sore throat angry red . Gave me 1 gm Rocephin & 80 mg of Solu-Medrol. Took a CBC & CMP to check white cells and liver enzymes. Called today for results: Dr says viral, but now have white stuff on my tonsils.... Will that 1 shot of Antibiotic help this??

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic
It seems from the history that you and having acute tonsillitis.
This requires treatment by the use of oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
One dose of antibiotics will not help you require to take full course on antibiotics for 5-7 days.
Do get back to me with the examination reports.
Thank you
