After antibiotics: And you seem to still have an infection. Please go back to your doctor to be examined as things to worry about are pre vertebral infection or peritonsillar abscess that don't get better with just antibiotics especially oral ones. I don't get more history here so i can't make decisions but your doctor can. Good luck.

Just been treated for tonsillitis. Last antibiotic (azith) taken on the 20th Dec. My throat is still really uncomfortable during the day but from abt 6pm it's really sore and I have trouble swallowing. Dry irritated cough. Just dont feel 100%...

Been having recurring tonsilitis? i didnt go to the doctor yet. i tried gargling with a salt in water and taking some sore throat lozenges . still not

Suddenly my left side of throat sore and difficult to swallow. I don't have fever though. I suspect that I got tonsillitis. What suddenly it happens to me, doctor? And if it is tonsillitis, does gurgling salt water effective?

Sore throat, doc says not tonsillitis 'yet'. Swollen and very dry tonsils. Water will not moisten them. Every time I swallow I want to gag.

How long should I wait before seeing a doctor with tonsillitis? No fever or symptoms other than sore throat and red spots on tonsils.
