What Treatment Is Suggested For Tonsillitis?
I have Hep C genotype 3a in remission. Not sure if I contracted exhusbands Hep C genotype 1a and Hep B non active. Now I have tonsillitis. Seems I am catching every virus that the wind blows up. Is this normal for someone in remission to stay this sickly? Or do I need to go get rechecked again for his strain of Hep C?

Hello.
Tonsilitis needs a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin to treat it.
If you're getting sick a lot, you need blood work to check on your white cell count and to see if your Hep C is still in remission
