I have just finished a 10 day course of penicillin as i had large tonsils with white spots. now i have a large ulcer on one tonsil.should i be worried?

Yous should consult: with your doctor regarding possible EBV infection or, if it becomes a recurrent problem, even tonsillectomy. It should improve on treatment that your doctor prescribed.
