A member asked:

Idk if i had strep or mono but my doctor gave my amoxicillin. it's getting better, there is red circles where the white ones used to be. is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If u feel better, ok: if u feel better, not having a rash you should be reassured. I presume you are referring to red spots on the tonsils. Finish antibiotic course and report side effects to your doctor
