Suggest Treatment For Acute Tonsillitis
I went to Urgent Care about 2 weeks ago. Was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis. Took 10 days of penicillin. Was better for about a week or less. Now I'm sick again. Very fatigued, low level sore throat, with a light white stripe on the right side of my throat in the back. Headache comes and goes, body aches accompany.

Throat swab is meant for culture and sensitivity so that the bacteria causing the infection can be known and treated accordingly by giving antibiotic according to its sensitivity.
YOu can also take anti inflammatory medicines for quicker relief.
In doubt do reply
