A member asked:
Is it allowed to resume the previous antibiotic when my tonsillitis returned after two months? my antibiotic is levoflox 500mg once a day.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would not: I would not try it as it may indicate failure if tonsillitis returned despite treatment. Although, i may not be aware of all the details of your problem, but Levofloxacin doesn't seem to be the first choice antibiotic for tonsillitis in most cases. Again, your physician may have had compelling unknown reasons why he prescribed it in the first place, but i would move with another one.
