Suggest Treatment For Tonsilitis

Hi my doctor told me I have tonsilitis yesterday and prescribed penecillin. Later that night i noticed a small black spot on my right tonsil which looks like a blood clot. When i woke up this morning and my right tonsil had increased its swelling. Should I go back to the doctor for a second check up or let the penecillin kick in? The pus appears to have increased.

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You might be not responding to pencillin.
I recommend the following.
1) A course of antibiotics, preferably amoxicillin with clavulinic acid.
2) Analgesic like tablet paracetamol for pain relief.
3) Salt water gargling. Add a pinch of salt to a glass of warm water.
4) Avoid refrigerated foods.
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
Regards,
