A member asked:
Diagnosed with tonsillitis a week ago, just finished antibiotics over weekend. my right tonsil is starting to hurt again, what could it be? sepsis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sepsis: Sepsis is a systemic response to infection. You are describing a very localized symptom. You should get reexamined to determine the best treatment.
