Sore Throat, Diagnosed Viral Infection And Prescribed Clarithromycin. It Become Worse Found White Spot On Tonsil
hello I went to the doctor 3 days ago for a sore throat and he thought it was a viral infection and prescribed me Clarithromycin. It is the third day and my throat seems almost worse than when I went to the doctors. I looked in the back of my throat and saw white spots on my tonsils. It hurts to talk, eat, and swallow. I have taken my prescription and throat spay and nothing seems to work. Please help me

Hello,
white spots on tonsil could be follicullar tonsillitis
The most common cause for Follicular tonsillitis is staphylococcus or streptococcus
You would require Amoxicillin and clavulinic acid combination antibiotic .
yOu need to consult your doctor to get the proper dosage as you have not written your age and if you have any other disease for which you are taking treatment.
In addition you would require decongestants and gargles .
get well soon
