A member asked:

What happens if i have tonsillitis will cefdinir take care of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Culture and sensitiv: The only method of determining if an antibiotic will be beneficial in eradicating your infection is 1.) Identify if a bacteria is associated with your tonsillitis with a tonsil culture and 2.) having the bacteriology laboratory determine what antibiotic is capable of killing the organism (sensitivity)/
