Tonsillitis

Asked for Male, 36 years

I have quit smoking for 30 days and in this period I have been ill thrice due to throat infection (tonsillitis). The first doctor prescribed me an antibiotic named Cefiget 400mg. After being cured I was again ill with tonsillitis and high fever within 2 days due to which another doctor prescribed me Augmentin 625mg. Now after 2 weeks I again feel throat infection and pain in my tonsils plus warm body close to fever. Please suggest me some better solution than another antibiotic course

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear of your recurrent tonsillitis. however I want to congratulate you on taking the crucial and brave step to quit smoking! bravo!
I'm afraid that since these are repeated infections which have shown resistance to antibiotics, a throat swab or sputum culture is necessary. it would be best if you see a ENT specialist who could examine your throat in detail and recommend the relevant tests. please find one near you. im attaching reference of medical specialists for now
