How To Treat Tonsillitis And Ear Pain While On Penicillin V?
Good afternoon, I have been diagnosed with tonsillitis, and given penicillin v yesterday - about this time. I can see the pus on the tonsils, and on one side, the edges seem to have gone dark brown… is this normal? The side with the brown is the 'more sore' side, and have an earache associated with it.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if this is tonsillitis and you are taking antibiotic for this then no need to worry about this because during the resolution phase the appearance of the tonsil greatly changes and that is nothing to worry and in my opinion stop observing this could create the panic un-necessarily, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
