Suggest Treatment For Strep Throat

Hi, I just went to the doctor and was diagnosed with strep throat I ve had it twice before in my life I m a 26 year old female. I went and got prescribed amoxicillin and they gave me some medicine that I drank to take the swelling down and remove the pus well now about 12 hours later I ve noticed that the strep ate a deep pocket in either tonsil and my question is should I go back to the doctor for this? Should I be worried or concerned? This has never happened to me either of the previous times.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain it seems that due to throat infection there has been pus formation over the tonsils leading to formation of deep crypts thaion will resolve that you are considering as a deep pocket..
Nothing to worry as the infection will resolve there will be healing and the pocket will reduce in size..
As of now continue taking antibiotic and along with it:
-Anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen can be taken to relive pain.
-Doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can be very much relieving.
-You can also suck throat lozenges to soothe the throat..
-Gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..
-Gargle with antiseptic solution like few drops of betadine in water..
-Chew Vitamin C pellets to boost up the immunity..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
