i think i have tonsillitis. my doctor prescribed me with antibiotics for tonsillitis, but it could also be mono. my throat has gigantic, swollen, tonsils covered in a white mucus looking substance. it kills to swallow, and i have lost over 20 pounds due to loss of appetite. i don t think my antibiotics are working. what should i do?
Hello, I will suggest you to monitor your temperature and compare it to initial ones. If it is remitting slowly you should continue the same antibiotics and wait. If there is no change in your temperature, you should get a relatively stronger antibiotic, along with that you need to do gargles, bed rest and have plenty of fluids. If still things doesn't settle, go for complete blood picture, liver function tests and blood sugars. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
