A member asked:

My daughter is currently taking amoxicillin for a sinus infection now she says that she has a pain on the right side of her throat when she swallows?

Throat: Possibly a bacterial throat infection. Even though she is on an antibiotic, its best to take her to the doctor to check her throat

Need seen: In the unlikely event that she has a penicillin resistant tonsillitis, she may have an abscess, but she should have a constant severe sore throat and difficulty swallowing, high fever,etc. she likely has postnatal drainage, either of the above very easy to pick up on exam. Throat pain from drainage tends to be worse in the morning, not as bad during the day, may worsen at night. Get her seen

Sore throat: How long has she been on the Amoxicillin? Any new fever? Other than pain does she feel like there is something in her throat or a fullness? I would encourage you to continue giving her the antibiotics. Encourage hydration, monitor symptoms. If it worsens or doesn't resolve within 72ish hours of starting antibiotics then get her re-evalutated.
