A member asked:
Tonsils are all white sore throat dry heaving been on amoxicillin for three days haven't gotten better just worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most pharyngitis...: ...is due to a virus, even when white patches are present. Amoxicillin and other antibiotics have no effect on viruses. This should improve on its own in a few days. If it doesn't, return to your doctor to be checked for other, less common problems, like mononucleosis.
