What is the best antibiotic treatment for tonsillitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peniciilin: Penicillin is the drug of choice for bacterial tonsillitis, Clindamycin is reasonable for penicillin allergic. Of course viral tonsillitis, which is more common, does not benefit from antibiotic usage.
