ENT : Time to see ENT consult. Pantoprazole interacts and lowers Augmentin absorption take protonix a few hours after. I would reexamine switch to Clindamycin. General rule no improvement after 3 days return to MD. If spikes fevers IV medication and possible I+D if tonsillitis w/abscess. Really have to see in person. Good luck.
