How Long Does It Take To Cure Bacterial Tonsillitis?
Hi,a few days ago I had a sore throat,and everyday it got worse and harder to breath. Yesterday I went to my GP (Family doctor) and he said it is quinsy. I was prescribed Zinnat 500mg but after a few hours,I had to go to the hospital. The first doctor told me it is a quinsy,the second ENT specialist told me it is just a bacterial tonsillitis,now I m just wandering,when will I actually start seeing improvement with my antibiotics? Can my tonsils grow bigger and block my air vent? Thanks!
