Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Strep Throat Infection

I had strep last week and didn t know that I was supposed to take my anti-biotics until they were all gone. Today my symptoms have come back; however, there are brown spots on my tonsils as well as white now. They are both swollen and have white spots behind them as well. My body is also very achy.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.

I am Dr. Shama and I will be answering your question.

Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
The presence of swollen and white spots on the tonsils indicate infection of the tonsils in the form of acute tonsillitis.
Since you have taken treatment with antibiotics and it has recurred, you need to take treatment depending on the culture and sensitivity of the throat swab.
Hence you need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.

With regards
I find this answer helpful
