Went to dr yesterday have tonsillitis just got antibiotics when will the big white patches and pain clear up? also have anxiety over it spreading2lungs

Don't worry: The tonsils will improve over the next 48 - 72 . It is not common for tonsillitis to spread to the lungs especially since you are now on antibiotics that will destroy the bacteria.
