Chronic Tonsillitis

I have a really nasty tonsil infection and have been on anti biotics for over a month. I just finished my 5th course: 14 days of Cephalexin 4 times a day. 5 days later, the puss spots are coming back.

I initially swabbed positive for strep. Anti biotics clears it up quickly but once they run out, symptoms come back. Horrible pus spots on my tonsils and fever and headache. If I try to not take anti biotics they start bursting, the pain becomes unbearable and the fever is so high I can't get up. Last time it spread to my sinuses.

This same thing happened in the summer and it took me 4 courses to get rid of. (Except not sniffling or fever) The anti biotics provides instant relief, clears up spots only for them to return several days later. Note I never tested positive for strep during this event. Tested negative for mono, but this time I absolutely can't get rid of it.

The doctors won’t test me for anything but mono or strep and I can’t get in to see a specialist because they are all closed because of the Sars 2.0.

I can’t get any help from doctors. They either say it will sort it’s self out or prescribe me anti biotics and tell me not to take them and that it must be a virus, since I only swabbed positive for strep once, but I am delirious, lose my appetite, in bed for days straight and I know taking these will instantly relief it.

Here is a pic of it coming back for the 4th time in a row.

Currently it is coming back for it's 5th time. (not as bad as that pic, but it will be soon..)

Note my tonsils are always big. It’s just the white/yellow spots, fever and pain.

Other than last summer I have never had anything on my tonsils in my life
