A member asked:

3 er visits has tonsillitis got meds but keeps getting worse. she complains of headache, ear and neck. tonsils not swole. what should i do pcp or ent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tonsillitis: Tonsillitis symptoms due to strep respond rather quickly to proper antibiotics, but when they are nonresponsive I suspect a viral cause or infectious mononucleosis. In mononucleosis the tonsils are usually swollen. Headache and neck soreness are nonspecific. Earache may be referred or may indicate middle ear infection. I recommend evaluation by ENT.
