A member asked:

I got strep for 10years, puss on tonsils,now sinusitis.tried penicilin amoxicilin doxy clyndamicin,zithro.my ears, neck and sinuses hurt.what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See ENT: After all this treatment it sounds like you may have some abnormality in your sinus cavities or tonsils. I suggest that you see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist to see if they can determine the cause. Sometimes removal of the tonsils or repair of a deviated septum in the nose can stop these types of chronic problems.
