A member asked:
How long will the swelling of my daughter's inflammed tonsils take to go down. she has only just started using antibiotics and lots of water and vit c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On the extent of the inflammation, usually 24-48 hours when using the right antibiotic, and it is bacterial, not viral pharyngitis, keep the other measures though, rest, fluids, salt water gargles, etc.., good luck
