What Causes Terrible Pain And Cuts On Tonsils When Taking Antibiotics?

I have strep and I have been taking anti biotics and Motrin for 2 days now. The pain and swelling were going down after day one. But today day 3 I now have unbearable pain and what looks like cuts on me left tonsil. They are small red lines that I can clearly see multiple of. Only that side is painful. I was feeling next to no pain before this. What is it and how do I heal it and maybe lower the pain so I can eat?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that terrible pain and red lines with cuts over tonsils seems to be due to severe inflammation of the tonsil that can be due to a severe bacterial or viral infection..
I would suggest you to consult your treating Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culturecan be done..
As of now to relieve pain as it is severe you can take painkillers like Tramadol..
Gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
Avoid had and spicy food and take more of bland fluids..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
