Lingering sore throat

Ive had mono since December of 2019, and I have had a ton of symptoms. But one I cant seem to shake is this sore throat that I have had for over 2 weeks. The area surrounding my tonsils is also super red, and I have tonsil stones. My doctor prescribed me amoxicillin last Monday because she said it sounded like tonsilitis, but it doesnt seem to be getting better even after a week on an antiobotic. Has anyone else had a lingering sore throat that took a long time to go away?

    I was diagnosed in October and still have white spots on one side of throat. No pain but spots. Doesn't look like tonsil stones. Do you have these?
